The names of the three who were killed are still not known, but the sole surviving gunman has said that his name is Yasser Bou, after first giving it as Mohamed Sharam. Eighteen people were killed in the attack when the gunmen opened fire with machineguns and grenades on travellers and staff at the check-in counter of the Israeli airline E1 A1.
