Iran Arrests Israeli Spies Linked to Ron Arad Foundation

Iranian forces penetrated into the depth of the Mossad information system and recognized and dismantled its different networks

Iran has arrested main culprits linked to a foundation formed to secure information regarding missing Israel Air Force navigator Ron Arad, a top Iranian official said on Monday.  Speaking to the Iranian ISNA news agency, Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said Iranian intelligence had succeeded in identifying and arresting "Zionist spies," who had been "deceived" by false humanitarian aims declared by the website of an institution whose aim is to find the Israeli occupation soldier.  “Iran's Intelligence Ministry not only closely monitors various Mossad measures inside the country but it also pursues moves by this intelligence service in Muslim and neighboring countries,” Moslehi said.  Israel launched a website (built by the foundation of Israeli missing soldier), Ron Arad, as a non-governmental organization (NGO) 20 years ago ostensibly to carry out humanitarian acts, he added. The "10million.org" website operated by "L'Hofesh Nolad" [Born to Freedom] an NGO offering a $10 million reward for "proven information leading to soldiers missing in action," including Arad.  Iranian forces penetrated into the depth of the Mossad information system and recognized and dismantled its different networks, the Iranian minister said.  Last year, Lebanon's state-run news agency accused the Born to Freedom Foundation of hacking into its website to post a message calling for information about the missing IAF navigator. National News Agency (NNA) director Laure Suleiman said the agency's Arabic, English and French websites "were hacked several times by the Israeli Born to Freedom Foundation."  The hackers left a message that read: "Earn a reward of 10 million dollars in exchange for information about Israeli airman Ron Arad and other missing Israelis" was posted on the websites on Monday afternoon.
