Egyptian group kills 'Israeli agent' in Alexandria

An “Israeli agent” in the guise of a businessman has been shot dead by unknown gunmen in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria, according to reports.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): An “Israeli agent” in the guise of a businessman has been shot dead by unknown gunmen in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria, according to reports.

The Israeli broadcasting agency (KAN) announced that the Israeli businessman was killed in Alexandria on Tuesday.

The man is reportedly Ziv Kipper, the CEO of OK Group LLC, a company that specializes in exporting frozen fruits and vegetables. The company’s head office is located in Alexandria, and it has additional offices in Israel and Ukraine.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed that the man also held Canadian citizenship, and owned a business in Egypt.

The man entered Egypt using a Canadian passport, according to the Israeli news website Ynet.

A group named Vanguards of Liberation - the group of martyr Mohammad Salah -- claimed responsibility for the killing of Kipper in a statement circulated on social media accounts.

The group said that it killed a "criminal Israeli agent," claiming that Kvir was a cover-up to do espionage work. It said that the man gathers information and recruits locals to work for the Israeli Mossad.

Kipper’s death was “a step on the path of the Egyptian people’s struggle against the Zionist enemy,” the statement said.

Moreover, the statement explained that its information about Kfir is built on accurate intelligence it collected, revealing that it will unveil more information on the matter at a later time.

Martyr Mohammad Salah, 23, is an Egyptian soldier who killed three Israeli occupation troops last year after crossing into occupied Palestinian territories in a heroic operation.
