Israel conducted operations to locate aviator Ron Arad, who was captured in 1986. Reports suggest he died in Lebanon, with conflicting accounts regarding his fate. Israeli forces kidnapped key figures linked to Arad's capture, including Mustafa Dirani and Iranian general Abdullah Saberi, seeking information. Despite evidence suggesting Iran did not hold Arad, Israel continued investigations, including a 2021 abduction of Saberi. The prevailing theory is that Arad was killed in 1988 as retaliation for another's death. Recent searches in Nabi Chit yielded no new information.
