Israeli supermarket parodies Dubai assassination in TV advert
Israeli actors mimic scenes in the surveillance footage from the Hamas assassination in Dubai for the supermarket commercial
"Mossad mania" continued in Israel this week when a supermarket chain filmed a television commercial inspired by the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai.
The commercials for the Mahsaney Kimat Hinam (Almost Free Warehouse) chain shows actors carrying tennis rackets and wearing hats, glasses and wigs the same disguises worn by the alleged killers in surveillance images released by Dubai police as they make their way along store aisles.
The actors are seen through the supermarket security cameras surreptitiously slipping products into their shopping trolley. One actor wearing a tennis outfit browses the frozen food section while an actress wearing a wide-brimmed floppy hat mimics Israel's policy of neither confirming nor denying involvement in the assassination, saying she couldn't admit to anything.
The advertisement even carries the slogans Eliminate the prices" and We offer killer prices.
Sefi Shaked, an advertising executive, said that the campaign was inspired by the footage released by Dubai police. He denied that the advertisement was in bad taste, saying that the company hoped to capitalise on the huge amount of media attention generated by the Dubai killing.
Opticians also reported a rise in sales of the horn-rimmed glasses in the style worn by some of the suspects, while T-shirts with Mossad logos were also selling out in shops.
Ilan Mizrahi, a former deputy director of the agency, declared that Mossad has been restored to its glory days .
