A secret report compiled by Hezbollah and Iran concluded that Ron Arad, an Israeli navigator, died in 1988 in the Lebanese village of Nabi Sheet, where he was held captive. The report, whose details have never been published, also indicated that Arad was likely buried in or near the village. According to a New York Times investigation, three former senior Iranian officials revealed these findings.
Iran reportedly made efforts to deliver this secret report to Germany, aiming to showcase the joint efforts of Iran and Hezbollah in the matter. This included an initiative by then-President Hashemi Rafsanjani, who dispatched one of his sons to personally present the findings to German intelligence.
Israeli officials were reportedly unimpressed by these actions. They believed that Iran's dispatch of a senior Revolutionary Guard commander to assist in the search efforts indicated Iranian involvement in Arad's disappearance.
