The Israeli Army Minister Avigdor Lieberman did not deny in a press statement on Tuesday evening the involvement of the Mossad in the assassination of Tunisian engineer Mohamed Zouari in Tunis.
He said “If someone was killed... in Tunis, I assume he was not nominated for a Noble Peace prize,” referring to whether the Mossad was involved in Zouari’s assassination.
“We do the best we know how to do to defend our interests,” he said.
Mohamed Zouari, 49, was shot dead last Thursday outside his home, a road from Menzel Chaker to Sfax-South, while he was in his car.
The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement, confirmed on Saturday that Mohammed Zouari, “who was treacherously assassinated by Zionists in Tunisia”, was one of its commanders who supervised the Brigades’ Ababeel drones program.
Large protest rally in Tunis to condemn Zouari’s assassination
Thousands of demonstrators gathered on Tuesday outside the municipal theater in Tunis to protest the assassination of Tunisian engineer Mohamed Zouari.
Representatives of political parties, members of civil society institutions, members of parliament, and citizens were present in the demonstration to denounce “the violation of the homeland integrity.”
Holding portraits of Mohamed Zouari as well as the Tunisian and Palestinian flags, demonstrators chanted slogans hostile to the Israeli occupation and criminalized any normalization with Israel.

Tunisian Interior Minister Hédi Majdoub did not rule out Monday the implication of foreign services in the December 15 murder of the Tunisian engineer.
Earlier Tuesday, Tunisian Premier Youssef Chahed declared that his government will sue whoever is involved and anyone who fell short of his/her responsibilities.
The government is also committed to safeguarding "the right of the martyr and the right of the country", Chahed underlined.
