The terrorist group Martyr Muhammad Salah Brigades, unknown until yesterday, published a video that allegedly captured the murder of Israeli businessman Ziv Kipper in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. The Israeli website Ynet wrote about the video posted on the Internet.
In this video, an armed man approaches the car Ziv Kipper is sitting in and fires five shots. The voiceover can be heard in Arabic: “Hello, this is from the children of Gaza.” The video is also accompanied by a caption in Arabic: “Greetings from the children of Gaza.”
The group that posted the video online announced yesterday that its militants had eliminated an “Israeli agent.”
According to Ynet, the authenticity of the video is being investigated. Israel is negotiating with the Egyptian authorities regarding the investigation into Kipper’s murder, tending to believe that it was a terrorist attack. At the same time, Egyptian investigative authorities continue to insist that the murder occurred on criminal grounds, during an attempted robbery.
Oksana Kipper, the wife of Ziv Kipper, gave an interview to the news service of the Israeli media corporation Kan, in which she expressed confidence that the murder was committed on nationalist grounds.
Kipper, who had Israeli and Canadian citizenship, had been working in Egypt for the past 9 years, being the owner of the Egyptian company OK Group LLC, which produces frozen vegetables and fruits, and has offices in Israel and Ukraine.
