	Arad, Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arad (Hebrew: ערד) is a modern city in southern Israel, on the border of the Judean Desert, 25 km west of the Dead Sea and 45 km east of Beersheba, near the famous Masada (Metzada), in the South District of Israel.
		ʻArad is a thriving town, founded in 1962 by a group of young Israelis, most of them ex-kibbutzniks and ex-moshavniks who were seeking an environment free of the urban ills of overcrowding, traffic, noise, and pollution.
		Following Israel’s evacuation of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government decided to also evacuate Arabs (mostly former Bedouins from Egypt) who reside in the village of Dahaniya, as they are considered by the Palestinians to be collaborators working for Israel, and fear for their lives if they stay there.

	Naharnet Newsdesk - Israel Concludes Arad is Alive, Obeid and Dirani May Soon Be Freed
		Israeli experts have concluded there is no evidence that airman Ron Arad is dead, 17 years after his fighter-bomber was shot down over Lebanon's southern port city of Sidon and he was captured by Lebanese militiamen, Israel's state-run TV has reported.
		Israel's TV Channel One said an in-depth report was presented to Israel's chief of staff, Lt. Gen.
		The report comes just a week after Israel handed Hizbullah the bodies of two of its fighters, apparently after a German mediator was allowed to meet with retired Israeli Colonel Elhanan Tennenbaum, who was kidnapped by Hizbullah operatives during an overseas trip in October 2000.

		The Arad family claims that the two main Arabs to be released in the deal - Dirani and Sheikh Obeid - were abducted specifically to render them collateral for Arad.
		Israel, however, is apparently not banking on this, and is willing to make the deal even before the information is obtained.
		The suit states, "The family was caused damage because of the inhumane and repulsive actions and omissions that Dirani perpetrated on Ron Arad during a long period in which he was under his exclusive and absolute control." These actions included, according to the suit, imprisonment, neglect, deprivation of air and food, and more.

		Israel's recent prisoner exchange with Hezbollah has thrown uncomfortable light on Israel's willingness, or perhaps on the political necessity, of dealing with a terrorist organization in order to bring the bodies of its soldiers home for Jewish burial.
		Arad is the one missing Israeli airman who has become a national symbol.
		Ariel Sharon did not rise to become the leader of Israel by speaking softly, and this is not the issue or the partner with whom to practice it.

		Israel hands over large Arab population areas contiguous with the West Bank, such as the Little Triangle in the center of the country, and in return receives the large settlement blocs and strategically vital, uninhabited areas along the Jordan River and in the southern Hebron Hills.
		Arad, whose arguments follow impeccable logic and whose train of thought is not even interrupted by one incoming cellphone call after the next, says the same logic that fueled partition plans in the past based on demography and contiguity should be employed today.
		Israel and the international community could fund this "nation building" effort, providing a huge economic activity in the region and a final peace respecting Arad's right concern for demographics.

	The Israeli Media React to the Prisoner Exchange with Hizbollah
		Included in the deal is Israel's promise to free Dirani, the very same man who is believed to have held Arad right after his capture and to have tortured him.
		Israel's chief of General Staff, Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon, however, believes that the chances of freeing Arad would actually improve now, since the exchange puts the issue back in the international arena.
		Israel paid a steep price for this first phase: the release of Lebanese prisoners who belonged to the Hezbollah terror organization, at least one of whom—Sheikh Mustafa Dirani—was involved in the capture and maltreatment of missing Israel Air Force navigator Ron Arad.

		Israel Electric Company Chairman Eli Landau, whose resume includes being ex-Mayor of Herzliya, a former military correspondent, and a good friend of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, has concluded that Ron Arad is no longer among the living - at least according to Sharon.
		Family members of Ron Arad were very disheartened by Sunday's Cabinet decision to release Mustafa Dirani in the possibly upcoming prisoner exchange, saying it closes the door on chances of receiving information that could lead to Arad's release.
		Dirani is known to have been the first to capture Arad after the latter's plane fell in Lebanese territory, and to have tortured him and carried him in the trunk of his car for an extended period before selling him to the Iranians.

		Obeid, the Hizb’Allah militia leader who is thought to have sold Arad to the Iranians in the 1980s was released by Israeli custody in late January in exchange for Israeli hostage Elhanan Tannenbaum and the bodies of three other IDF troops killed in an October 2000 border skirmish.

		It was already an ancient city when the King of Arad barred Moses and the Children of Israel from passing through the Negev desert on their march northward.
		These Jewish religious artifacts were buried when Israel's King Hezekiah decided to centralize all worship back to Jerusalem and ordered the people in other cities to destroy their synagogues.
		Instead, the people of Arad -- who loved to worship God -- buried theirs; thus it is in relatively good condition -- the best restored one of that time period.

		Israel’s High Court of Justice on Tuesday postponed to Oct. 9 its ruling on a petition by the family of missing airman Ron Arad seeking an interim injunction against any prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hezbollah that includes Lebanese militant Mustafa Dirani but not information on Arad.
		Israel believes that Arad was held for some time by a Lebanese militia headed by Dirani.
		In 1994, Israel captured Dirani hoping that he could either be traded for Arad or at least provide information about the navigator’s fate, but both hopes proved to be in vain.
