Assassination of Israeli Businessman in Egypt: Unraveling Espionage, Extremism, and International Connections
Watan-A businessman named “Ziv Kieper Hyde,” an Israeli national, was shot dead in the city of Alexandria, Egypt, a few days ago by an unknown assailant. He was managing operations for his company, which dealt with frozen fruits and vegetables, and it was revealed that he was an Israeli spy with close ties to extremist Jewish organizations.
So far, the responsible party for the assassination remains unknown, although a group calling itself “Vanguards of Liberation – Martyrs of Mohamed Salah” claimed responsibility for killing the businessman, describing him as a dual Israeli-Canadian citizen who managed a company named OK Group LLC in Egypt.
The deceased soldier, Mohamed Salah, had killed several Zionists near the border crossing of Al-Auja last June.
Social media activists circulated a video documenting the moment of the Israeli spy’s assassination. The video showed an individual approaching a white car and firing his gun through the window while chanting “Shalom from the children of Gaza.”
From Ukraine to Egypt
The Israeli businessman was born in Ukraine, moved with his family to Palestine as a child, then traveled to Canada where he attended university. Afterward, he managed several companies that eventually led him back to Ukraine and finally to Egypt.
Israeli media outlets have not provided any information about his military background, only mentioning his dual Canadian citizenship.
