Mossad Kidnapped Iranian Generals in Secret Operation for Pilot's Fate

Mossad allegedly kidnapped two Iranian generals in secret operations to find information about missing navigator Ron Arad, according to The New York Times. General Abdallah Sabri was captured in Syria in 2021 and released after interrogation, while General Ali-Reza Asgari, who disappeared in 2006, was allegedly killed by Mossad after interrogation. Israeli intelligence believes Arad likely died in Lebanon in 1988. Mossad also reportedly leaked footage of its agents in Iran in June 2025 to trigger arrests and protect its operatives.

Israeli Court Rules Company Cars Taken Home Taxable Benefit

An Israeli court ruled that employees must pay income tax on company cars taken home, even if only parked, as their availability constitutes a taxable benefit. The Central District Court rejected an appeal by Gil-Ran Real Estate Management and Projects, emphasizing that potential use outside work hours triggers taxation. The judge cited legal precedent and tax regulations that define company vehicles made available to employees as income, regardless of actual personal use. The ruling also dismissed arguments about operational needs and past tax authority leniency.

ARM CEO Rene Haas Emerges as Top Candidate to Lead Nvidia

Rene Haas, CEO of ARM, is reportedly a top candidate to become the next permanent CEO of Nvidia, having previously worked there for seven years. The Nvidia board has approached Haas to discuss the role, though his interest is unconfirmed. Haas's leadership at ARM and his prior experience at Nvidia make him a strong contender, despite calls for the return of ousted CEO Jensen Huang. Other potential candidates have been ruled out due to conflicts of interest or lack of relevant experience.
