History

Historical Context

In 1986, Israeli pilot Ron Arad was captured by the Amal militia after his F-4 Phantom II was damaged during a mission in Lebanon. His disappearance sparked national concern and advocacy for missing soldiers, leading to ongoing efforts by Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to seek information and support. Recent rallies, like the one for Ran Guli, continue to highlight the enduring impact of unresolved disappearances.
