Ehud Olmert’s comments came during an interview with the Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post”, in which he said that “pilot Ron Arad, who was missing in Lebanon, was not transferred to Iran, he stayed in Lebanon and died there”.
Olmert noted: “We contacted the people who were related to the family in which Ron Arad was incarcerated, we investigated them, and in the end, we discovered one thing. We knew exactly where he was even on May 2-3, 1988, during the Battle of Midoun, and Ron “. Arad was imprisoned in a room in a house, or in a basement, and there was a large iron door, which had to be opened and down two steps, and then a second iron door, and he was in this closed room alone in a house inhabited by a family.
Olmert noted that “during the battle in Midoun, a member of this family was killed by the Israeli army, and from that moment on, we no longer know anything about what happened to Ron Arad, and it was concluded in this operation that Ron Arad was not in Iran. ” For many years they didn’t know anything, and unfortunately I also think they didn’t do enough, and in 2008 I had no doubt that Ron Arad is not alive. “
