Abu-Sita, commander of the Abu Rish faction, had been wanted by Israel since 1993 for the murder of his employer, Uri Megidish, in Gan Or in Gush Katif. Abu-Sita was also involved in the killing of an IDF officer in November 2000, as well as other attacks that killed three Israelis in 2001 and 2002.

He was responsible for a number of attempts to dispatch booby-trapped cars to Israel and for several shooting attacks.
