Jaffa Man Charged with Murder by Car Bombing
The Tel Aviv District Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Ghazi Ashkar, a 34-year-old resident of Jaffa, for the murder of Mustafa Abu Lassan. Ashkar is accused of detonating an explosive device planted in Abu Lassan's car approximately two and a half months ago.
According to the indictment, Ashkar and accomplices tracked Abu Lassan, followed him, and attached a tracking device and a bomb to his vehicle. The assassination took place at a gas station in Holon, where Abu Lassan parked his car in a nearby lot.
Ashkar's associates remotely detonated the explosive device, causing a powerful explosion that killed Abu Lassan. The blast also caused significant damage to seven other vehicles parked nearby, with two of them completely destroyed by fire.
