The Israeli broadcasting agency KAN announced that an Israeli businessman was killed in Alexandria, Egypt, on Tuesday, while the Israeli Foreign Ministry said it is investigating the nature of the incident. 

The man is reportedly Ziv Kipper, the CEO of OK Group LLC, a company that specializes in exporting frozen fruits and vegetables.

According to the Israeli news website Ynet, the man entered Egypt with a Canadian passport. 

Concurrently, a statement circulated on social media accounts, written by a group named Vanguards of Liberation, the group of martyr Mohammad Salah, in which the group claimed responsibility for the killing of Kipper. 

The group said that it killed a "criminal Israeli agent," adding that Kvir (Kipper) uses his title as a businessman as a cover-up for espionage work. It said that the Israeli man collects information and recruits locals to work for the Israeli Mossad. 

Moreover, the statement explained that its information about Kvir 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 executed an operation against Israeli occupation soldiers, killing three Israeli troops on October 8, after crossing into occupied Palestinian territories in a heroic operation. 

Another incident on October 8, 2023, saw an Egyptian police officer kill at least three Israelis in a shooting operation that he executed in Alexandria.
