Elhanan Tannenbaum

Elhanan Tannenbaum, was an Israeli businessman who was captured by Hezbollah. In 2000 he was lured to Dubai, offered a "lucrative drug deal", captured by Hezbollah, and transferred to Lebanon. He was released in a prisoner exchange, together with the bodies of several Israeli soldiers, for 435 Arab prisoners held by Israel. Mossad Chief Meir Dagan in 2011 claimed that 231 Israelis were killed by terrorists freed in the Tannenbaum exchange deal. After his release from Hezbollah, Tannenbaum made a plea bargain and was not charged for any crime in Israel.
