How will Tunisia handle Hamas engineer assassination?
The assassination in southern Tunisia of Mohammed Alzoari, a Tunisian engineer and member of Hamas, stirred calls for the Tunisian government to investigate Israel, which was accused of being behind the death.
The city of Sfax in southern Tunisia woke up Dec. 15 to the news of the assassination of Tunisian aeronautical engineer Mohammed Alzoari, 49, who was gunned down in his car in front of his house.
Two days after the operation, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, issued a statement accusing Israel of being behind the operation, and vowing to retaliate. According to the statement, “Alzoari had joined the resistance and al-Qassam Brigades 10 years ago and is one of the leaders who had been supervising Hamas’ Ababil-1 drones program.”
