Stopover in Dubai is a short documentary that uses found footage to reconstruct the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a significant military leader of Hamas, who was killed in January 2010 in a luxury hotel in Dubai. The film is based on surveillance footage provided by Dubai’s State Security Service, capturing an operation conducted by 26 agents, allegedly affiliated with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. The documentary examines the planning and execution of the mission, which involved identity changes and careful methods to avoid immediate suspicion.[1][2]
