Beit Lahia
Kamil Hamad gave the phone to his nephew Osama, knowing that Ayyash regularly used Osama's phones. At 08:00 on 5 January 1996, Ayyash's father called him. Ayyash picked it up and talked with his father. Overhead, an Israeli plane picked up their conversation and relayed it to an Israeli command post. When it was confirmed that it was Ayyash on the phone, Shin Bet remotely detonated it, killing Ayyash instantly. He was killed in Beit Lahia.
