According to the investigation, the Mossad kidnapped an Iranian general in 2006, interrogated him about Arad and then killed him. In 2021, the Mossad kidnapped another Iranian general through Israeli intelligence officers posing as carriers in the heart of Damascus.

A joint investigation by Iran and Hezbollah determined as early as 2004 that Arad apparently died in Nabi Shith.
