In a video obtained by Ynet, the attackers are seen pulling up to the target in a dark sedan. The target notices their presence and runs inside a building as the attackers quickly exit the vehicle and open fire on him. One of the gunmen is equipped with a handgun and the other is wielding what appears to be a submachine gun.

Kafr Kassem residents said that 17 people had received death threats in the past few days, according to Ynet.
