Israeli occupation army announced on Saturday that the airborne in the eastern Lebanese town of Nabi Sheet failed to retrieve the remains of missing Israeli Air Force navigator Ron Arad.
“The operation was conducted as part of ongoing activity in Lebanon after a rare operational opportunity” emerged to search for clues related to the missing airman, the enemy army said in a statement, cited by Israeli media.
“As part of IDF activity in Lebanon, special forces operated overnight in an attempt to locate findings connected to the missing navigator,” the occupation military said, referring to Israeli occupation forces.
“No findings related to him were located at the search site,” the statement added.
Hezbollah foiled an overnight Israeli airborne in the town of Nabi Sheet in the eastern Lebanese region of Bekaa.
The group’s Military Media said Islamic Resistance fighters observed the Israeli force and engaged in fierce clashes in which occupation soldiers were forced to retreat.
The Israeli assault led to martyrdom of at least 16 people in Lebanon and the injury of 53 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
