In video set to air on Israeli channel 10, Lebanese network LBC Tuesday evening, captive navigator seen talking for first time since being captured 20 years
On Tuesday evening channel 10 will broadcast a film in which Israeli captive Ron Arad is seen talking. This will be the first time Arad's voice is heard since he was captured 20 years ago.
In the video segment, Arad is smoking a cigarette and stating his and his parents' names: "Ron Arad, Dov Arad, Batya Arad". Simultaneously, the film will be broadcasted Tuesday and Wednesday on Lebanese television network LBC. It is not yet known when the film was recorded.
In the promo broadcasted last week, the announcer promised that all images and voices would be "seen on screen for the first time."
Ynet has learned that the videotape was apparently handed to the LBC network by the Shiite party in Lebanon, which was previously affiliated with Hizbullah. The tape did not come from Hizbullah itself, as the group is unlikely to have given the tape to Christian sympathizers.
