Israel considers him responsible for the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers during the first Palestinian Intifada and responsible for smuggling weapons[1] from Iran to the Gaza Strip. He was assassinated in Dubai.
Lieutenant general Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, Chief of the Dubai Police Force, announced on 18 February 2010 that, "Our investigations reveal that Mossad was definitely involved in the murder of al-Mabhouh ... It is 99% if not 100% that Mossad is standing behind the murder."[2]
