The Israeli prime minister has claimed that an Iranian general was abducted in Syria in order to obtain information about a missing pilot.

According to Sputnik, quoting the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Israeli officials claim that they carried out the kidnapping operation of an Iranian general from Syrian territory in order to find clues about “Ron Arad”, the missing pilot in Lebanon. The publication reported that the kidnapping operation had taken place, but that Israel had not received any clues or useful information about Arad.

For the first time, an Arab newspaper (Al-Rai Al-Youm) claimed that Israel had taken an Iranian general from Syria to Africa and interrogated Arad after his arrest. This Iranian general was later released. But the whole operation was useless because the chosen subject had the least connection with the disappearance of this Israeli pilot and as a result the operation did not reach its goal. Al-Arabiya, a Saudi media outlet, also claimed in a report that the Israelis had obtained a piece of DNA in the village of Nabi Seth in southern Lebanon and were testing it to determine if it belonged to Arad. Or not.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called the kidnapping of an Iranian general a success, but 12 Israeli television has called the operation a complete failure, according to the Mossad chief.

Ron Arad was the pilot of the Israeli army in the invasion of Lebanon, which disappeared in 1982 after a plane crashed in southern Lebanon.
