The PIJ confirmed that Abu Al-Ata was killed, as well.
Smoke was seen rising from the scene before 5 a.m.
According to the Palestinian Al Quds newspaper's Twitter, terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip attempted to fire a barrage of rockets into Israel after the attack. No sirens have been heard in Israel yet.
The operation was conducted jointly by the IDF and the Shin Bet and was carried out because Abu Al-Ata was preparing to attempt multiple terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, including preparations for sniper and kidnapping attacks, drone launches, and preparations for rocket fire at various ranges.
The attack on the building he was in was conducted on exact intelligence information as a preventative measure to remove a real threat from the PIJ.
The IDF reinforced its troops and prepared for multiple possible situations Tuesday morning. Shelters in Ashkelon were opened and school was canceled, as the situation has been deemed a "severe security event."
Ashdod declared a state of emergency and the city said it is opening public shelters.
Train service was temporarily canceled between Ashkelon and Beersheba and at the Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim stations.

No studies will be held in communities surrounding the Gaza Strip or in Lahish and the central Negev. In central Israel, studies will only take place in secure buildings. Read more at JPost
