Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Last night, a special operation was launched to find and return pilot Ron Aard, who was captured in Lebanon 40 years ago. We have been tirelessly pursuing this mission for many years. Last night's operation did not yield the results we were looking for, but the commitment of the State of Israel and myself to rescuing all captured and missing personnel is absolute and unwavering. This was true in the past, and it will be true in the future.
