After the outbreak of the violent incidents brought on by Palestinian elements at the end of September 2000, referred to by these elements as the "Al-Aqsa Intifada" (hereinafter: "the Al-Aqsa Intifada"), the Defendant, as a senior commander in the Terrorist Organization, initiated, organized and directed attacks against Israeli targets both within the State of Israel and in the Judea and Samaria region, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of citizens of the State of Israel.

1. At or about 02:30 on March 5, 2002, the terrorist Ibrahim Hasouna (hereinafter: "Hasouna") arrived at the "Sea Food Market" restaurant on Menachem Begin St. in Tel-Aviv (hereinafter: "the Restaurant") armed with an M-16 rifle, grenades and a knife with the intention to perpetrate a murderous attack.

   At that same time, the Restaurant was completely packed with dozens of diners.

2. A. Hasouna arrived at the "Beit Maariv Bridge" located on the aforementioned street opposite the Restaurant and began shooting at the diners with the intention of willfully causing the deaths of many of them.

   Near this time Hasouna threw a hand grenade into the Restaurant that miraculously did not explode.

   Immediately thereafter Hasouna approached the Restaurant and stabbed those Restaurant diners who got in his way, with the goal of willfully causing the deaths of many of the diners.

   B. Immediately after Hasouna began shooting at diners as described above, Police forces were called to the area.

   One of the first police officers to arrive at the scene of the attack was the late Staff Sergeant-Major Selim Barakat, who charged at Hasouna with the goal of stopping his murderous activities.

   Hasouna stabbed Staff Sergeant-Major Selim Barakat in various parts of his body and neck repeatedly, using a knife he was equipped with, with the intention of willfully causing his death.

   C. In his actions as described above, Hassona caused the intentional deaths of the late 33-year old Staff Sergeant-Major Selim Barakat, who died as a result of the fatal stabbings; the late 52-year old Yosef Habi, who died as a result of Hasouna's fatal stabbings in his chest and other parts of his body and was also hit by a bullet in his leg; and the late 53-year old Eli Dahan, who met his death as a result of Hasouna's fatal stabbings in his back and stomach.

   D. Ahmed fulfilled the Defendant's instructions and introduced Hasouna to others who joined together to commit the conspiracy.

   Activists of the Terrorist Organization who joined together to commit the conspiracy prepared Hasouna to carry out the suicide attack and near the time of the attack, Morad Agloni and Mazen Al-Kadi - activists in the Terrorist Organization who joined together to commit the conspiracy - drove Hasouna to Tel-Aviv and dispatched him from their car near the Restaurant in which Hasouna perpetrated the attack as detailed above.
