- Khalil al-Wazir, better known in the Arab world as Abu Jihad, was a key figure in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), helping found Fatah in the late 1950s. For years, he was the effective deputy to PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.
He was shot dead by Israeli agents in an audacious commando raid in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, in 1988. Israel denied responsibility for nearly 25 years until 2012, when an Israeli newspaper published an interview with Israeli soldier Nahum Lev, who killed Abu Jihad, eventually revealing the truth.
This film, Assassination in Tunis, hears from both sides of the story and traces the assassination in detail: How Israeli commandos made a beach landing in Tunis under direction from Mossad, Israeli national intelligence, and overran the villa where Abu Jihad was staying. Moments later, Abu Jihad was killed in multiple rounds of gunfire. His widow, Intisar al-Wazir, offers witness testimony to these final moments of Abu Jihad's life.
The Tunis raid that finally ended Abu Jihad's life was a high-risk venture for the Israeli special forces. They sent a hit squad to a foreign country to kill a prominent Arab figure and escaped undetected.
However, Nahum Lev's interview, published after his death, raised almost as many questions as it answered, including whether Israel had acted alone or had help from inside Tunisia.

Renee Giese The palestian people has no choice, they were kicked out of their homeland with western backing
over drive That’s for sure, but there must be a peaceful solution!
@@reneegiese6315 No that's not "for sure", they were offered the partition plan, refused and attacked 2 days after Israel establishment in 48', plus there was always a jewish presence in the land of Israel dating 2000 years ago, we are not foreigners to this land.
@@overdrive7721 I am a black african responding to you people who always blame israeleeses for all trouble in themeaddle east. Israel has one and one only small state with less than 6 milions citizens. The arabs have gotten over 22 states. where do jewish people feel safe in this world after all they went thru in the 1930 and 1940? If the other arabs love their palestinina brotehrs so much , why could they not receive them into their lands?
@@MrZinzao and if you love them so much let's say in alternate universe it was your country where zionists came and took your land and expelled you from your home saying that they had a great great great ancestor who lived there in the year 1000 B. C
If you know you are on Mossad hit list, you should at-least have a battalion guarding you.

No amount of security can save you from Mossad when they really want to get you!

Tell Khalid Meshal that
He escaped the Mossad and caught the assassin
"The story begins in 1955......Abu Jihad will go on to be a major figure in the palestinian resistance to OCCPUATION.". There was no occupation in the 50s. Can someone tell me why 'palestinians' were murdering Israelis before the 'occupation'?
Because the whole israel was Palestine
That questions is for Adolf hittler you May ask him if you find him good luck with that
Isreal was formed in 1948 and the conflict didn't start overnight and was underway several years prior its formation in 1948

Pitch dark, no electricity, yet his wife counted 24 Agents who had attacked.
Also she says that some of her husband's friends had later and took him to the hospital saying he was still alive.....after 76 bullets were fired into him!!! Ridiculous!
Muslim lies
The Palestinians recognized that those were Israelis, not other Arabs. They said because they didn't kill his wife and children, just him.
Because Israel doesn't kill innocent people only terrorists. On the other hand, these "peaceful" people, who always whine when they were hurt by others, murdered anyone even innocent people. They have no souls. And they are the most religious people in the world. Their religion is terror.
Palestinians would have raped and killed the women and children
Exactly..
Imagine if even a Palestinian said that, they know their people. They indirectly admitted that if it was an Arab, everyone would have been tortured and killed.
Why did they let them alive?
Live by the sword, die by the sword.....
26:15 you can run, you can hide but you can't escape from the long arm of Israel. What they do have are a very particular set of skills; skills they have acquired over a very long time. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like Abu Jihad.
U must say that abo jihad was a nightmare for zionists .

so sad. Remember those Israeli Olympic athletes and their machine guns and how they battled the PLO assassins? No one does. They had no machine guns. They were just athletes. They were murdered.
I remember…..innocents. Slaughtered.
They were also members of the IDF
Wht about palestinian in lebanon , childrens , womens they were killed by zionist ?
@@saebdahalan3054 Sounds like you don't read much. Arabs in Lebanon from the former British Mandate area are kept in poverty by Lebanese. Europe had 25 million refugees after WWII. They were all resettled within 5 years. Former Mandate Arabs are killed by other Lebanese.
@@AlJalandhari so if a solider from X country competes in the Olympics you can murder them? And all Israelis are in the IDF at that age to protect the country from terrorists and further Arab invasions.
I wonder how many people are aware that there was never an independent state called Palestine... (this comment isn't in any way a legitimisation of oppression of Palestinians, but it is about how flawed the entire ideology of "freeing" Palestine is - a country that has never exited)
The Palestinians are ethnic Syrians, Lebanese and Jordanians. Literally 80% of Jordan is Palestinian. The term "Palestina" is a Roman term made up to humiliate the Jews after Judea fell into their hands. The Palestinians have no relations to the biblical Phillistines who lived on the coast. The modern day Palestinians were brought into the area by Ottomans.
God bless Sayret Matkal.God bless MOSSAD
Your mom.
“They empties 5 machine guns shooting him 50,000 times. Then ran him over with a steamroller and set him on fire. An hour later his men arrive and said he was still alive and took him to the hospital” 👀 You can tell just looking at her face what a vicious liar this woman is 🤦♂️
The time you born abortion should have been legal.
Abu Jihad was shot 76 times , that was very personal.
I lived and worked in Israel in the Early 70s. I loved the place and the people. All I knew about the place can be summed up in three words: "Six Day War." Of course I was naive to think of it that way, but I didn't know any better.
If you don´t need to have problems with the Mossad, please first, don´t attack jewish people, second, don´t threaten Israel the way Iran does. The Eyes of David performs everywhere worldwide. But only to defend never just to attack.
A very expensive operation, only one person is subject for neutralization. The operators where brought from Israel to Tunisia aboard a military boat and then surreptitiously entered the beach near the subject's house and successfully carried out their mission. This is a spl ops.
Those who lived with the gun die with the gun.
Israel linked with France & France linked with Tunisia it’s former colony & the deal was done
Agreed. 1. During the day of operation the security personnel of the village were ordered not to render duty. 2. The telephone lines in the village were all dead.
The Documentary showed one side of the story and try to depict the terrorist as a good person. Its a Islamic propaganda, I must say.
Welcome to Al Jazeera
May peace prevail everywhere in the world.
WELL SAID, I REALLY WONDER WHY LEADERS CHOOSE THE DEATH OF THEIR PEOPLE INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING PEACE AND TRANQUILITY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CHOSE THEM TO LEAD
Arabs love death Slaughter read Salman rushdi
@@Dr.Shiixaaye The sad truth of the world: Wars are profitable, peace is not. And politicians are in for self-serving profits.
I’m amazed time and time again to see the luxury and lavish style of Palestinian leadership back then as well as today while the poor Palestinian people live in poverty
"live by the sword - die by the sword" - time for peace now
Let me get this straight. The armed struggle for Palestinian 'freedom' movement was headed by leaders who were staying in mansions in Cyprus, Tunisia, Jordan instead of being on conflict zones. No wonder it didn't work out.
Same with fanatic separatists of kashmir. It's funny that us Kashmiri Pundits were ethnically cleansed by their direct orders, and stupid sickuler Indigan Govt(s) kept funding them like Na-pakistanis just to appease a certain sect!
His wife was 27yrs younger than him
@@PInk77W1 is she also as fat and spoiled, as poor Arafats remarkable wealthy widow and daughter? 👀💸💸💸🐖💨🧕🏽💩
Their leaders are not even from "Palestine". Arafat was Egyptian, Hamas is an Egyptian creation, the PLO an Arab league creation, the current leader of Hamas is actually Kuwaiti, Abbas is from a historically Jewish stronghold in Gallilee.
This is the only comment which seems sensible and true
First, she said she was in the bedroom the night before while he had guests downstairs when the power went out and she called to him, etc. Then later she said she was coming back to the house and it was dark and the power was out and that this was the first time it had ever happened. So were the lights out since the night before? This guy, Abu Jihad seemed to have plenty of warnings he was concerned about but like we all do sometimes, brushed off. Never brush off your gut feelings. One of the Munich assassins who killed the athletes was killed years later in Tunisia. Are these the same person. Anyone know?
I wish peace and harmony for everyone..
It's time to live peacefully
There can be no peace and harmony in any part of the world till this bastar religion exists on this planet........
This is curse for humanity.
LOLOLOL up to the so called
"palistinains"
Minus the pissful cults
Lol
There is something a bit ironic about lamenting "extra-judicial killings" by PLO.
So true
live by the sword, die by the sword
That woman complains about the Israeli accent, if it was the other way around not she, nor the kids would have been spared and you all know it in al jazira
Why 70 rounds when 4 or 5 in the head would do the job? It would have saved a fruitless ride to hospital.
The Israelis are quite capable of conducting this type of operation without the assistance of local security forces.
Because they enjoy killing. They’re sadists.
Well done
You live by the sword, you die by the Sword.
Bravo!
The sad thing is he left the world not helping his people same as Arafat. Arafat should have bought the farm too. His wife took expensive shopping trips to France while their people barely had any bread to eat. They lived like millionaires and deprived Palestinians. Why would you put your children in jeopardy being married to a wanted terrorist?
Jihad gets a reply, in its own format.
The guy was "wanted" by Israeli's and in hiding on and off in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and so forth. He did not usually feel safe for more than a few days in Tunisia. You'd think w all the unusual things going on - the letter from France, the security guards being off for the day, the unusualness of everyone being kicked out of the area just a day or so beforehand, the lights going out both the night before and that day, and his own home being reduced to one guard, that the guy's "sense of serious trouble' should have kicked in. Why 'he" didn't take it seriously enough is a question in itself. I think sometimes that high-profile people develop a hubris - like the 'Red Prince" that the Israeli's hunted for years after the Munich Massacre. He knew most all the others involved in the operation to kill the athletes in Munich were one by one, had already assassinated yet he married Ms. Universe of Lebanon, was a womanizer, and got sucked up into a honey trap and met his fate.
when you know divine reckoning is coming, might as well enjoy your time left before judgement
PLO RIP NOW and FOREVER

Israel is just not piece of land, its just not a nation. Israel is great school of thoughts, founder of Monotheism, birthplace of 3 great religions on earth. Israel had prophets, Israel have God's chosen people. Israel could not be defeated nor destroyed. God is with Israel. Dont fight , dont kill, dont terrorise. Live with Love among Arabs & Jews. Its land of milk and honey.
Beautifully said. Many blessings to you from Jerusalem friend.
If god protects them, let him fight for them. Otherwise calling others terrorists for doing the same thing they do is just stupidity of the highest standards.
THERE IS NO ISRAEL
Maybe founder of Christianity...but not islam...ISLAM..is a religion that was since the time of Adam..Islam literally means"submission to the will of one God"...even though the name was used after Muhammad...but it was practiced way before Muhammad since Adam..,this is because Islam means submission of God.whereas Christianity came after Jesus,and Judaism came after Moses I think or any Jewish figure.,as for the name Islam not being used before Muhammad..There could be many multiple reasons if interested we could discuss them,..PEACE
This lady talks and show NO emotions. No crying???. She tells of details of her husband to include leaving Israel at an early age that is obviously made up. My spouse does NOT know such detail that she is fabricating and MAKING things up as she goes along! Also, your husband was NOT a nice person. Your husband is NOT a fighter but a terrorist. A fighter fights the military. Your husband was killing old man, woman and children. Not attack the oppositions military. Thus in the end I call him a coward and he got what he deserved. Freedom and revolutions come with a fight of the military and NOT killing innocent civilians period!

By attacking on foreign soil the apartheid state declared themselves as a terrorist organisation.
Ehud Barak later to be prime minister of Israel was part of the hit team of commandos who killed Abu Jihad in Tunisia on the day in question.
Indeed , no one seemed to find out from Tunisian authorities that what happened and what went wrong . I am sure it’s much said .
That says everything.
When Abu Jihad attacked Israelis in 1952 there was NO occupation. Lol
i read somewhere the claim that this was a tragedy b/c al-Wazier was getting close to the idea of peace with Israel...
This senseless killings must stop .

Amazing feat of Mossad and the special forces of Israeli Defense Force in mounting this incredible assassination over long distance across sea.

Personal vendetta led to all this. No one can forget the murderers of families and let alone when that member was yoyr mother.
It was not Abu Jihad's mother who was killed, but rather a neighbor's son; according to this, she was shot at, as she hugged her son when he went to retrieve the food, but the bullet missed her and killed the neighbor's son instead.
That doesn't make his killings right. His terroristic acts targeted innocent Israeli civilians. He did not care if he kills children and vulnerable innocent people. He was engulfed by hatred and became a monster himself.
Spot on l think amongst the PLO top guys they felt threatened by this fella and some wanted him to go so that they can take over
Olympics • never forget
The moral of the story: "Live by the sword, die by the sword"...
Just to know, how many bullets needed to kill a human being at close range, eeeeeh???!!!
Corrupt Tunisian government helped in the killing, in the end they fled Tunisa with ton and a half of stolen gold bullion on a private jet, just shows

Let's get the history straight. The UN General Assembly with a 2/3 majority established Israel as a legitimate member in 1948. The same day the Arab Liberation Army composed of armies of Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Jordan invaded Israel across an internationally recognized border. The aggressor was defeated. A defeated aggressor has no rights. They generally are at the mercy of the country they attack. Inhabitants on the West Bank were advised to leave their homes as in a week or so the Jews would be defeated, they could then return to loot and plunder. 92% of proper Israel was purchased from Arab landlords (sale documents and registration papers and other land records are available). Current inhabitants of the West Bank are the responsibility of the invading armies. Ironically had the Arabs won, the plan was for Egypt to occupy the Negev, Jordan the West Bank, Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Lebanon the Galilee, Syria the Golan. Sorry - no room for Palestinians. Before planning a documentary it helps to get one's history right.
You said whole lot of nothing 😭
When you operate terror group, the stupidiest thing to do is live close to a beach. If you want to live close to a beach have a tunnel and a battalion of guards with cctv.
