Iranian agents working for the Mossad had parked a blue Nissan Zamyad pickup truck on the side of the road connecting Absard to the main highway. The spot was on a slight elevation with a view of approaching vehicles. Hidden beneath tarpaulins and decoy construction material in the truck bed was a 7.62-mm sniper machine gun.
Around 1 p.m., the hit team received a signal that Mr. Fakhrizadeh, his wife and a team of armed guards in escort cars were about to leave for Absard, where many of Iran's elite have second homes and vacation villas.
The assassin, a skilled sniper, took up his position, calibrated the gun sights, cocked the weapon and lightly touched the trigger.
He was nowhere near Absard, however. He was peering into a computer screen at an undisclosed location more than 1,000 miles away. The entire hit squad had already left Iran.
... The machine gun fired a burst of bullets, hitting the front of the car below the windshield. It is not clear if these shots hit Mr. Fakhrizadeh but the car swerved and came to a stop.The shooter adjusted the sights and fired another burst, hitting the windshield at least three times and Mr. Fakhrizadeh at least once in the shoulder. He stepped out of the car and crouched behind the open front door.
According to Iran's Fars News, three more bullets tore into his spine. He collapsed on the road.

Does this qualify as “over the horizon capability” or no?

I'm more impressed that they brought him back to life just to kill him again a year later.

Amazing that Israel is able to do this successfully, while Biden/US performs a drone strike on the wrong car & kills multiple civilians including 7 children.

1000 miles is NYC to tampa, fl.
More likely, 1000 meters.
Longest confirmed kill is ~2300 meters.

title clearly says
not that it was controlled from over 1000 mi away
its reasonable to misunderstand it the way the thread title reads

This is why it's important to read not only the title, but the post as well. It's not reasonable at all.

Quote from NT Times article:
Yet strangely, in its in-depth write-up of the assassination, the Times seemed to memorialize Fakhrizadeh, speaking of him in a positive light and describing him as a lover of poetry and seaside vacations.
"Despite his prominent position in Iran's military establishment, Mr. Fakhrizadeh wanted to live a normal life," the Times reported. "He craved small domestic pleasures: reading Persian poetry, taking his family to the seashore, going for drives in the countryside."
