Major [[Moshe Hebroni]] was the chief of staff for the director of Israeli Military Intelligence, [[Yehoshua Sagi]]. According to [[Ari Ben-Menashe]], he was a member of the initial [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]].[^1]

Hebroni was involved in expediting the export license for tires sold to [[Iran]] in April 1980. He also received a call from Ari Ben-Menashe regarding [[Sayeed Mehdi Kashani|Kashani's]] request for military aid from [[Israel]], and instructed Ben-Menashe to bring Kashani directly to the general headquarters of IDF/MI.[^1]

Hebroni was the duty officer who received the letter from [[Pierre Gemayel]] to [[Ariel Sharon]] warning of the impending [[Sabra and Shatila massacres]]. He made copies of the letter and informed Sagi. After the massacres, Hebroni was allowed to spend three months as head of branch in the External Relations Department, a period during which he could remove any documentation that might implicate him and Sagi in the massacres.[^1]

Hebroni later worked for the [[Jewish Agency]] and was an unofficial adviser to [[Yitzhak Shamir]] after leaving [[Mossad]] in 1989. He confirmed Ben-Menashe's access to highly sensitive intelligence material.[^1]
