A video published on the Al-Haddad network shows a building photographed while traveling in a vehicle, apparently in a town in eastern Lebanon, where the navigator was allegedly held. This report joins a series of reports in the Arab media this week, in which they claimed that the Mossad abducted an Iranian general during the operation to locate information about the missing Israeli navigator.

Ron Arad was a fighter pilot in the Air Force who was captured by the Amal organization in Lebanon on October 16, 1986. He has been declared missing since May 1988, after being transferred to an unknown location, in Iran or Lebanon. In 2005, the intelligence department submitted a secret report according to which Arad died in Lebanon, between 1995 and 1997, apparently from a shoulder stab wound.
