The recently emerged terrorist group Martyr Muhammad Salah Brigades has released a video claiming responsibility for the murder of Israeli businessman Ziv Kipper in Alexandria, Egypt. The video, posted online and reported by Israeli website Ynet, shows an armed man approaching Kipper’s car and firing five shots, accompanied by a voiceover in Arabic from the “children of Gaza.”
The authenticity of the video is being investigated, with Israel leaning towards the belief that the murder was a terrorist attack while Egyptian authorities maintain it was a criminal act during an attempted robbery. Ziv Kipper’s wife, Oksana Kipper, expressed her belief in an interview with Israeli media that the murder was motivated by nationalistic reasons.
Ziv Kipper held Israeli and Canadian citizenship and had been operating in Egypt for 9 years as the owner of OK Group LLC, which produces frozen fruits and vegetables with offices in Israel and Ukraine. Investigations into the murder are ongoing as Israel negotiates with Egyptian authorities to uncover the truth behind Kipper’s tragic death.
