Declassified Israeli intelligence reveals that the Mossad kidnapped two Iranian generals as part of efforts to locate captured Israeli airman Ron Arad, according to Ynet reporting marking 40 years since his capture.
One general was allegedly abducted from Damascus in a refrigerator crate, interrogated, and subsequently dumped in South Africa. The second Iranian general’s identity remained classified for 20 years, with US officials confirming he was interrogated aboard a ship before being eliminated by Mossad operatives.
A classified Hezbollah and Iranian intelligence report suggests information about Arad’s fate may be held in Lebanon. The revelations offer unprecedented insight into Mossad’s covert operations and the lengths Israel went to in attempting to recover its captive airman.
