Tunisia says Croatia nabbed operative behind hit on Hamas engineer attributed to Israel
The Tunisian Justice Ministry is reportedly claiming that one of the operatives behind a 2016 hit on a Hamas-linked engineer that has been attributed to Israel has been arrested in Croatia.
Both Hamas and Hezbollah have accused the Mossad of killing Mohammed Zoari, 49, who was shot to death at the wheel of his car outside his house in the Tunisian port city of Sfax in December 2016.
Zoari, an aviation engineer and Tunisian national, was confirmed by Hamas to be a central figure in its weapons development. The group called him a pioneer in developing its unmanned drones.
Israel has not responded to the accusation by Hamas that it was behind the Tunisian engineer’s death.
