This happened in full view of his wife who was in the car with him. As you would expect, the initial working assumption of the FBI when they started to investigate the case was that it was the work of Arab terrorists, especially given it became obvious very quickly that the attack was calculated, meticulously planned and professionally executed with nothing stolen from Yosef, his wife or their home. Someone simply wanted the highly decorated Israeli Air force officer dead (not injured)…and only him! The FBI closed their investigation in March 1976 after being unable to pinpoint the perpetrators and all the evidence collected during the investigation was destroyed in 1978 for reasons not clearly known to this day. In 2011, a book was released about the assassination of Colonel Alon by Fred Burton, a former police officer and special agent specialising in anti-terrorism. Mr. Burton said he felt compelled to keep digging into this decades after the official FBI investigation was closed because he was living next door when the assassination happened and as a 16 year old at the time, the murder of Colonel Alon ruptured his sense of security, propelling him into public service and a career as a police officer and State Department counterterrorism agent. Following the release of his book, Mr. Burton was invited to give interviews at several media outlets and on April 9, 2011 he publicly said in this interview that he believes that Colonel Alon was a Mossad agent (not unusual at all given his role at the time) and that he was taken out by the Mossad themselves (or more accurately, an Arab assassin working on their behalf) in order to make sure he doesn’t talk about what he came to know which was that: Israeli intelligence knew that Egypt and Syria were about to launch a surprise attack against Israel in the near future but kept that information under wraps because of a highly secret deal between Israel and the U.S. (‘supervised’ from the US side directly by Henry Kissinger himself, the US secretary of state at the time and one of the most senior people at the Bilderberg group to this very day) to allow the Arabs to attack first in an upcoming war, in order to test the efficacy of American weapons versus what the Soviets gave Syria, Egypt and most other Arab countries at the time. Israel lost 2,412 soldiers in the war that did break out only a few months later and caught the IDF completely off-guard. Joe’s wife suspected from day dot that her husband’s murder wasn’t a simple case of an arab terrorist attack and that the Israeli security establishment was involved in some capacity due to what he knew. She passed away in 1995 without ever knowing exactly who killed her husband and why. Joe’s three daughters took upon themselves to discover the truth of what happened to their dad and despite extensive pushback by the Israeli intelligence apparatus and the highest levels in the Israeli state (including the President who is the ceremonial head of state), they kept pressing on. Eventually in 2017, following years of lobbying by Joe’s daughters, the FBI agreed to reopen the case although there are really no news on the matter to this day and it’s unlikely there ever will be, especially given all the evidence from the original investigation has been destroyed. In April 2011, the leading investigative reporting show on Israel’s public broadcaster at the time, did an exposé about the murder and the subsequent investigations, focusing entirely on the efforts of Joe’s three daughters to uncover the truth. The daughters are convinced without a shadow of a doubt that their dad was murdered by the Israeli security apparatus (effectively the Israeli “deep state”) and even if the people who actually pulled the trigger were not members of Mossad, they were paid and supported by it!
