Exclusive security camera footage obtained by Channel 14 reveals the meticulous planning and execution of the assassination of 25-year-old Mustafa Abu Lassan from Jaffa. Abu Lassan was killed less than three months ago when an explosive device attached to his car detonated in Holon. The footage documents the surveillance of Abu Lassan, his movements along the Ayalon highways, the fatal explosion, and the suspects' escape back to Jaffa.

The investigation indicates that preparations for the assassination began days prior. A truck, allegedly linked to one of the suspects, was seen tracking Abu Lassan near his home in Jaffa to gather information. Subsequently, a tracking device was placed on his vehicle. On the morning of the murder, Abu Lassan was filmed leaving his home in his Mitsubishi, followed by a white Toyota Corolla, suspected to be the assassins' vehicle, which had departed from the same Jaffa residence.

The footage shows the Toyota Corolla tailing Abu Lassan's Mitsubishi towards Holon. Abu Lassan was last seen refueling his car at a Mika gas station in Holon, shortly before entering a nearby parking lot. Investigators believe the assassins, positioned meters away in the Toyota, detonated the device remotely as Abu Lassan was in the vicinity. The explosion killed him instantly, and the Toyota was captured fleeing the scene.

Detectives from the Tel Aviv Central Unit meticulously analyzed extensive security footage, piecing together the vehicles' routes to identify and apprehend a 34-year-old Jaffa resident. He has been indicted for joint murder and other offenses. Authorities highlighted the danger the explosion posed to the public in a crowded area and expressed hope for a severe sentence.
