🇹🇳 Who Killed Tunisian Drone Expert Mohammed Al-Zawari? | Al Jazeera World

On December 15, 2016, a 49-year-old Tunisian man was shot dead outside his home in Sfax, 270 kilometres south-east of Tunis.
Mohammed al-Zawari had been known locally as an aviation engineer interested in drone technology, but in fact, he had led a double life, leading a drone development project for the military wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades.
According to Al Jazeera Arabic's investigation by Tamer Almisshal, several parties were involved in a coordinated plot against al-Zawari, who up until his death was called 'Mourad' by many of those who knew him, including his wife.
Almisshal believes it has all the hallmarks of an extra-judicial killing by Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, but these cases are notoriously difficult to prove and must for the moment remain speculation.
Al-Zawari first left Tunisia in 1991 as a dissident against the regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. He managed to travel using a fake passport and worked in a military manufacturing installation in Sudan. He only returned home after the 2011 revolution that forced Ben Ali out of the country.
Shortly after his death, Hamas announced that the drone expert had worked for the Qassam Brigades for a decade. They credited him with developing the Ababeel drones used against Israel in Gaza in the summer of 2014.
"By the 2008 Israeli aggression against Gaza, the team had manufactured 30 drones in an Iranian military factory," according to a Qassam Brigades member going by the name of 'Abu Mohamed'. Another Brigades member, Abu Mujahid, says drones were important to them because "we can conduct it with precision against military targets and avoid civilians."
As well as building drones, al-Zawari did innovative research into remote-controlled submarines, as potential combat devices for the Qassam Brigades.
Israeli journalist Moav Vardi went to Tunisia to investigate the Zawari case. "It's not a criminal assassination by a gang or a neighbour's quarrel" he says. "From what it seems, Israel has the interest and the ability to carry out such an operation."
Almisshal reveals that the assassination took months to plan and involved several people in different teams. The two men who carried out the killing allegedly had Bosnian and Croatian passports. Another went by the name of Chris Smith who'd contacted Sfax University where al-Zawari was doing postgraduate research.
In another team was a Tunisian journalist tasked with surveilling Zawari. How the assassins arrived in and left the country is a confidential part of the Tunisian investigation, as the police case is still ongoing.
There have been other alleged Mossad assassinations outside Israeli territory. For instance, Israel admitted responsibility for the 1988 killing of a senior Palestinian commander Abu Jihad, whose real name was Khalil al-Wazir, at his home in Tunis, Tunisia. Wazir was a friend and deputy to then Palestinian chief Yasser Arafat, who headed the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO).
Mossad is also alleged to have been behind the 2010 murder of Mahmud al-Mabhuh in a Dubai hotel. He was the Hamas logistics commander for the Qassam Brigades; and of the Black September founder Ali Hassan Salameh, or 'The Red Prince", using a car loaded with heavy explosives in Beirut in 1979.
In March 2018, two men were arrested in connection with Zawari's murder, Croatian Alen Camdzic and Bosnian Elvir Sarac. In May, Croatia's highest court blocked Camdzic's extradition to Tunisia and Sarac was released after a Bosnian court refused to hand him over to Tunisia, saying there was no extradition deal between the countries.
Until the Tunisian authorities manage to extradite the two men, the case of the murder of Mohamed al-Zawari cannot begin to be resolved - whoever was behind it.

Mohamed is not dead but he is living now in our heart.
Because he is muslim shahid to servive his religion.
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ (154)
Nice documentary, interesting to get this kind of information from the other part of the world
informative
Nice documentary
Thank you!
@@aljazeeraenglish the host can barely speak English
May God bless his sole
Soul right word. Sole refers to a part of your shoes
@@emiliopalac4848😂😂😂
RIP Mohammed Al-Zawari. Good and talented people do not live long.
Yup.. Using his talent to kill others
Killed like a pig.
Tunisians are Alywas brave people
Not when they make powerful enemies.
انا ما افهم على اللهجه التونسية. تحية من الاردن.
You can interview whoever you want if it’s mossad you will never find out who did this.
The accent is a trip, best part of the documentary
😂😂😂
I think you are Zionist😅😅🤣@@DanDan10101
Making drones to undermine the security of the Jewish nation is a death wish ⚡⚡⚡
They will never know peace
Keep narrating more stories
Sailors leaving a busy port doesn’t seem very suspicious, nor does the identification quickly retracted seem particularly suspicious. The waiter made a mistake and corrected it after “meeting” the suspect. Innocent people are released all the time, one would hope.
🇹🇳🇵🇸❤️
The narrator isn't Tunisian. Sounds like an Egyptian accent ... lol
Sounds fake
Walid Louati he is a palestinian
Allah U Akbar..! God Bless Israel..! Choosen people of true God!!
why would the narrator need to be Tunisian? what would being Tunisian have to do with anything? because *Tamer Almisshal* is the actual *journalist* who did the investigation who is narrating his own reporting, as often is the case with many of the AJEnglish language docos - and he is Palestinian. he more often does much of his work for the AlJazeera *Arabic* language channel..which this was made for, originally - but, like with THIS documentary, he narrates in English for the AJEnglish audio version.
The spelling of things like names in your closed captions and your video titles differ and this makes you guys seem unprofessional. Please fix that or hire more diligent copywriters. Other than that, good programs and it's better to always get other news so as to balance our own selves.
Stfu nerd
Zawari The Tiger MashaAllah
Yes sir
Why don’t they use voice translations god sake .. aljazera your just lazy fix up seriously
🇹🇳💪🇯🇴🇹🇳💪🇯🇴🇹🇳💪🇯🇴🇹🇳
So was the guy working for Hamas or not? In my opinion that's the difference between fair play and the murder of an innocent person.
He was working for Hamas and their military wing called The Quassam brigade so he was a fair game to kill..
@@640626His drones are coming in handy now
@@640626so according to your logic can we kill every engineer that worked on American Jets and Israeli drones? Or your just another hypocrite who have double standard
enjoying watching all the documentaries, very interesting and informative, narration was fine, seems like an amateur hit, or just shows how much harder it is in a modern world to not leave any clues. Always good to get different viewpoints but my sympathies are with Israel.
Fvck israel
I warned Muslim scientists to keep low profile and avoid all medias live with less and Safe your life and help your people better than fame
Such a good skill hidden by death.
Didn't the Israelis prop up the Hamas as a counter force against the PLO back in the day?
Yup
The documentary is very good but its naration is very poor. Why can't u just do it in Arabic and not Arabicenglish?
😂😂😂😂😂😃😃😃😃😃😃😃ya habibiEnglish
Habibi English😂😂😂😂😂😂
common knowledge that Israel did it
Ya but they probably had help
Terrorism must be defeated by all means possible.
Viva Israel.
Starting with Israhell. Viva Palestine
I m regular viewer of Al Jazeera. Its good but plz arrange a good English speaking person next time either American, British or indian accent. Thanks
@@thegovernor9257 probably he's indian lmao
😂indian accent that's worst
You can even kill your enemies with kites.Raise it up high and let the wind that swept toward your enemy do the rest.There's no wrong methods to kill an enemy in time of war.Take advantage of favorable winds..........
First learn how to speak English. Second, based on the narrative you presented if you can’t figure out who was culpable than you also need to learn modern warfare.
He speaks English with a very strong foreign accent making it hard for a lot of people to understand. However, I wouldn't say that his English is bad. In addition, it is rich coming from you. You meant to write ''then'' and not ''than''. I find that an irritant error in English grammar.
Al-Zawari yod did it, its shock to Israel, how people in jail can be developed in drones. that time is coming!!!!!!.
Well done Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 ....We stand with you❤️from 🇮🇳

@@AustinCKinghorn lol says a cartoon commenting on Aljazeera, don't yr kind have any of yr own media accounts?
Antisemitism is just another bullshit yr kind has invented. Get real kid!
These drones looks like RC planes for kids😂
Very simple RC planes. Any RC-enthusiast video on UA-cam shows a lot more advanced planes. To call this mans "achievements" brilliant is just stupid...
@@727skydivers lol laugh on them when they hold rockets and don't get detected by any radar!!😂
Rc planes that can be used as kamikaze drones how about that
@@user-gr2hg7oj7f agree with you, and it was probably very cheap to build with parts ready to find. but they made him sound like some sort of scientific genius in this doco. I think it detracted from the real story that a nation state sent assassins to anther nation and committed a murderer.
@@727skydivers Were is the negative effect of using RC planes? Can you tell me that? It seems smarter to use RC planes which can be mass produced.
The English accent and speaking of the narrator was catastrophic and too horrible. 00/20 Al Jazeera. But the doc is interesting.
This is Aljazeera English' version of this documentary which was initially produced by Aljazeera Arabic . The narrator is himself the reporter who made the investigation and he appears all along the film.
So it's weird to get the english voiced by someone else.
Same here not good
Report his murdererrr
Subtitles sucks
Genius Jews
Invincible Israel
another big loss for helpless Palestinians
they probably learned stuff and they will develop it
PIG*
@@granda2126 even a random person can built drone just by watching youtube
They expect people to believe that a Croatian and a Bosnian are responsible for the assassination of this guy? Lmao foh
good documentary poor narration. The narrator is an embarrassment to Aljazeera family. Stop forcing English on yourself better do Arabic documentaries. Aljazeera its a world wide media house.
as long the message is understood thats what matter
no one forced you to watch it - and he IS understandable for those of us who are intelligent enough to get what he's saying. maybe YOU should try not being such an arrogant, prejudiced jerk and spend more time around people who are NOT just like yourself.
and it's Tamer Almisshal's own report doco, btw, so he has every right to narrate it and it makes SENSE for him to narrate it..so, why are you such an awful snob??
you are DEFINITELY NOT a part of the "Aljazeera family" with such a terrible, snobby attitude like that. as tptb @ Aljazeera ENCOURAGE dialogue and learning between cultures and languages. also, at LEAST Tamer is doing something for the world by helping to make sure this documentary is available not ONLY to those who understand Arabic - as it was originally made for the AJ Arabic channel. and it's obvious that both his IQ & his *social IQ* are far higher than yours. you should be ashamed of yourself.
Conclusion of the document story is money from isreal is priority than religion.
King loves palestine 🇵🇸
Another one bites the dust
Well done! Clean and neat, Mossad is a master
If you cant pronounce "p" then you cant be an English presentor
He can bronounce it. 😂
Hé want to play with the mossad big mistake
Israel we are also ready for your technologies with hand full sources
Bosnians did it
انجليزي دا يا مرسي؟ ناك الدوكومونتار! ا
The dead man knew was doing wrong. The wife is crying for a fake man. From name to personality. She is lucky to be alive.
Can Al Jazeera hire someone who speaks understandable English?
Old blood
my cat can speak better English than the narrator 😂😂
01001000 01010100 the narrator is Palestinian journalist tamer el meshal
@@fatimamo5087 so what , he works at an English channel , he must speak fluent English . don't get me wrong , the investigation is great , i'm only criticizing his accent .
The Egyptians accent of the narrator killed me 😅…tough all my respect for the Mosad and Israel !!
but they are late as usual 😅😅😅😅 now hamas have alot of zawari
Only the Mossad ... pot fear in the heart of the enemy
What fear? 😂🤣 We look forward to death!
Ok caaaaalm down calling him a genius. I used to build planes like that when I was 13 for fun. They are acting like this guy invented interstellar commercial travel.
What shall I get from your comment? The jealousy or the jealousy?
It's not like you made progress and you started to make military uavs lmao
The goal isnt to make something brillant or advanced, the goal is to make something cheap and functional enough to be produced and allow palestinian to reply against israel...
@@tunisianpartisan1080 If that’s the case, why is everyone hailing him as the next Nikola Tesla?
@@bmstyle because of his action, it is the first guy to try devlopping technologies while not having much money or access to advanced knowledge to allow palestine to defend
All his scientific skills? Or did that guy mean all his RC plane building skills?
what?? those ARE his scientific skills. one has to understand several disciplines - including that one needs to understand *something* about the *science* of *PHYSICS* in order to know how to build effective drones.🙄 just smdh.
maybe Iran is giving it to Hamas?
I don't understand why you don't choose an fluent English speaker for this documentary, as you have choose for the others. I barely understand what this arab speak.
Ding Dong the Witch is dead, tralala lalalala..
@Al Bert thank God for that. Long live. BIBI, our king.
Says the Israeli
Good job Israel .👍
Fake news😂😂😂😂
Educate yourself, it is an actual thing, saying fake news will not make it false, is it that hard to just not be stupid?
Who cares...
A man died and you say "who cares" just dont watch the documentary then, show some respect, didnt your parent educated you?
"first drone bruduced in der drone bruject" LOL! Bullshit reporting. You'd think he's talking about Wernher von Braun. Hahahaha!
Maybe the poor mans version 🤔 of Wernher von Braun
🤣
Plz made documentaries in English accent not in Arabic. We don't understand Arabic accent English.
Sultan Abdul Majeed Al Jazeera World strand gets films from across our network, which includes AlJazeera Documentaries, Al Jazeera Turk, Al Jazeera Bosnia, and they’re obviously in native languages, which are subtitled.
May Allah grant Mohammed Al-Zawari zannaat .Ameen.
@Marwan Lebnani 😂😂😂
Well done Israel love from india
Why do you Indians support Israel ?, They didn't even teach you how to take a shower
Mighty Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Qatari Propaganda .
He is smart, but not that smart...
You mess with Israel haha u are dead.
the whole scenario between israeli and islam is prewritten and mapped out in the holy Quran , their downfall is.......
Joke's on you... He couldn't wish for more than his heroic death...He strongly believes in the afterlife, and all you can do is hope he's wrong....wait....and see.
u do know that those people r eager for such deaths right??? the only people suffered r the Mossad stuff trying to locate him and scared that the militants get smth high tech between their hands!!
