He provided weapons to two terrorists and recruited accomplices who led them to the target, where they fired at a traveling bus.
The military court determined that he was the "driving force" behind the attack, and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
He was released from prison on January 25, 2025, after 21 years of imprisonment, as part of the second phase of the hostage deal.
According to the terms of the deal, he was permanently expelled from the West Bank.
