While medical sources were initially unable to identify the body due to its mutilated state, the dead man was eventually identified as Husam Harb, 32, a member of Islamic Jihad.

Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli air strikes fired one rocket at the activist's car while he was passing through the north of Gaza City.
