A Lebanese TV station plans to broadcast a movie about Capt. Ron Arad including never-before-seen footage of the missing Israeli airman speaking to the camera. LBC, a Christian station also aired a trailer which can be seen on YNet News:
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.
Sources close to the Arad family told Ynet that the family identified the photo as authentic, but that they were uncertain as to its meaning.
Arad was captured by Shiite Amal in 1986 after bailing out of his plane over southern Lebanon.
