Egyptian authorities are investigating the murder of Israeli businessman Ziv Kipper, who was killed in Alexandria. The authenticity of a video released by an unknown terrorist group, the Martyr Muhammad Salah Brigades, claiming to show the murder is being investigated. The video shows an armed man approaching Kipper’s car and firing five shots, accompanied by a voiceover in Arabic from the “children of Gaza.”
Israel believes 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, with Israel negotiating with Egyptian authorities to uncover the truth behind Kipper’s tragic death.
