In a statement, the group said the official was killed when "a bomb planted in his personal vehicle exploded" on Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway). Handala described the attack as a response to Israeli operations against Iran, adding: "This is the fate of criminals. Even the regime's most security-protected individuals are not safe in their usurped homes." The group also challenged Israeli authorities, asking: "Will the security services of the Zionist regime dare to tell the truth, or will they continue to deny it?" Israeli authorities have not confirmed the claim. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports have presented conflicting accounts regarding the identity of the victim. Initial reports said a man had been killed in the explosion, while later reports cited by Israeli outlets, including The Times of Israel, said investigators were examining the possibility that the victim was actually a woman. Israeli police said the incident remains under investigation and described the suspected background as "criminal." Handala's allegations regarding the victim's identity and affiliation have not been independently verified.
