Police say they have arrested four suspects involved in the 2021 brazen killing of a man in Jaffa, who was gunned down in front of stunned onlookers.

Police say a new development in the case led to the arrests of the four men, three Jaffa residents and one man from Ramle.

They are suspected of involvement in the killing of Abed Qazaz, a criminal known to police.

Eyewitnesses to the shooting told police Qazaz was shot while being chased through the port’s parking lot by gunmen before he jumped into the sea. The gunmen fired at least 10 times.

The four suspects appear in the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court and have their remand extended for three weeks.

Police say the investigation is continuing.
