Investigation reveals secrets of Mossad operations to find Ron Arad

An investigation by The New York Times revealed that Israel's Mossad abducted two Iranian generals, one from Syria and another from Turkey, as part of efforts to uncover the fate of missing Israeli airman Ron Arad. The investigation said Abdullah Sabri was abducted in Damascus in 2021, taken to Israel and later left in Johannesburg, while Ali Reza Askari disappeared in Istanbul in 2006, was interrogated for weeks and then killed. It concluded that Arad was likely never held in Iran and that Tehran and Hezbollah were not involved in his disappearance, with his death in 1988 in the Lebanese town of Nabi Sheet considered likely.
