The strike occurred in the Khan Younis area of the Gaza Strip. The Popular Resistance Committees, founded in 2000, is described as a Palestinian terror organization that was previously affiliated with Fatah but is now linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

According to the joint statement, members of the organization participated in the October 7th attacks, murdering and abducting civilians and soldiers. Throughout the ongoing conflict, the group has carried out numerous terror attacks against Israeli forces in cooperation with Hamas.

The airstrike was conducted to neutralize the threat posed by Diab. Security forces remain deployed in the area and will continue to operate to eliminate any immediate threats.
