Hatuel was driving from central Israel to her home of 12 years in Gush Katif, near Rafah in the Gaza Strip, when she and her four daughters Hila, aged 11, Hadar, 9, Roni, 7, and Meirav, 2, were shot at and forced off the road near Kissufim. Hatuel was wounded in the initial attack. Her attackers then approached the vehicle and shot repeatedly, killing Hatuel and her four daughters; all four girls were still in their car-seats. Both The Popular Resistance Committees and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the deaths.
Hatuel had just picked up her children from school and, on her way to her husband`s workplace in Ashkelon, was traveling in the vicinity of the Kissufim Crossing.
