The screwdriver, the WhatsApp and the 'Little Red Riding Hood' exercise: the assassination that shook the center - 'closest to intelligence agencies'
Five years after the murder of Shimi Dadon in Rishon LeZion, a senior officer in the Tel Aviv District Police reveals the 'Little Red Riding Hood' operation aimed at targeting the Kahlon brothers. Swapping scooters, bait messages, and a screwdriver found at the scene led to the solving of the case.
Five years after the murder of Shimi Dadon in Rishon LeZion, a senior officer in the Tel Aviv District Police reveals the 'Little Red Riding Hood' operation aimed at targeting brothers Avi and Noam Kahlon. The article describes the complex setup that included a meeting at the Tel Aviv port, travel between cities, swapping scooters, clothes and license plates, and a bait exercise using WhatsApp messages. Ultimately, it was Dadon, released from prison just three days earlier, who was shot, not the Kahlon brothers who were the original targets. Investigators managed to solve the case using forensic evidence, including an electric screwdriver found on a burned scooter and a unique Palm Angels brand shirt identified on one of the suspects throughout the day. The article quotes Superintendent Adari, the lead investigator, describing the case as 'the case of my life' and noting that it changed the crime map.
