I think Thomas Wictor is right that this was a defection and not an assassination.
One thing puzzles me.
The autoloc doors would have to have been opened from the driver’s seat. How did the suprise attackers get the front-passenger door open?
If they had just shot out the windows I would have expected more exit wounds in the bodywork.
Did they use something like a centre-punch to break the windows, then shoot the guards in the car and *then* shimmy through the window to engage the autoloc?
“I think Thomas Wictor is right that this was a defection and not an assassination.”
More like a ‘defection attempt’, but I tend to doubt it, as I think that Israel would have flat-out denied the hit.
In the end, we’ll likely not be sure until Israel (if they did it) feels ok in admitting such.
