Palestinian flag, Zouari’s photos raised during football match in Tunisia

Fans of Club Sportif Sfaxien (CSS) raised during a football match on Friday the Palestinian and Tunisian flags and photos of the Tunisian engineer Mohamed Zouari who was assassinated by Israeli Mossad, according to Hamas’s armed wing.

Thousands of fans had attended the match in Tayeb Al Muhairi stadium in Sfax to the south of Tunisia.

A minute’s silence was held before the start of the football match in memory of the martyr Zouari.

Mohamed Zouari, 49, was shot dead last week 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 that Mohammed Zouari, “who was treacherously assassinated by Zionists in Tunisia”, was one of its commanders who supervised the Brigades’ Ababeel drones program.

Since then, large demonstrations have been organised in Tunisia to protest his assassination.

Tunisian Premier Youssef Chahed declared that his government will sue whoever is involved and anyone who fell short of his/her responsibilities.
