Overview
- Former General Security officer Ahmad Shukr vanished after a visit to Nabi Sheet in mid-December, triggering an intensified review of CCTV, phone records and communications data.
- Lebanese officials report no physical or electronic traces indicating Shukr remains inside the country, a finding they say supports the possibility he was removed from Lebanon.
- New details from Ad-Diyar say Shukr’s phone signaled for 37 seconds in the Al-Sunwara area before going dark, with a transfer through Mount Hermon considered a possibility.
- Security sources are examining two Swedish nationals who arrived days before the disappearance, with one departing that day and the other believed to have remained in the country under a possible false identity.
- Authorities are exploring a Mossad abduction theory tied to the unresolved Ron Arad case and Shukr’s family links to figures allegedly involved, though the claims remain unconfirmed and Israel has not commented.
