The High Court rejected the petition of Lebanese resident Mustafa Dirani to cancel a confiscation order by which 21,000 dollars were taken from his home when he was abducted by IDF forces 22 years ago.

The confiscation order was issued by the Defense Minister nine years after Dirani was brought to Israel.

Dirani, a member of the Shi'ite 'Amal' organization, held Ron Arad for a period of time. He was brought to Israel in order to try and glean information from him about the missing navigator. After 10 years Dirani was released from jail in a prisoner exchange deal.
