Mohamed Nazzal, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said that Israel’s Mossad killed al-Zawari by sending three groups of operatives, “The first group provided logistics, the second was tasked with information collection, and the third group of two assassins carrying pistols equipped with silencers was tasked with carrying out the hit,” he added.
