Meanwhile, he stressed that the Israeli government must continue to do everything in its ability to find out what happened to discover the fate of Arad.

The swap deal was approved by Israeli government in principle about two weeks ago, under the condition that Hezbollah submits the report on Arad.

Hezbollah transferred to Israel days ago an 80-page report on the fate of Arad, who was shot down over Lebanon in 1986 and held by the Amal Shi'ite group until the night of May 4, 1988, when he disappeared.

The report obtained from Hezbollah included photographs of Aradand journal entries written by him - but was deemed by the defense establishment as "insufficient."
