Major [Moshe Hebroni](/people/moshe-hebroni/) was the chief of staff for the director of [Mossad](/organizations/mossad/), [Yehoshua Sagi](/people/yehoshua-sagi/). He was a member of the initial [Iran-Israel Joint Committee](/organizations/iran-israel-joint-committee/).[^1]

[Hebroni](/people/moshe-hebroni/) was involved in expediting the export license for tires sold to [Iran](/places/iran/) in April 1980. He also received a call from [Ari Ben-Menashe](/people/ari-ben-menashe/) regarding Kashani's request for military aid from [Israel](/places/israel/), and instructed [Ben-Menashe](/people/ari-ben-menashe/) to bring Kashani directly to the general headquarters of [IDF](/places/israel/)/MI.[^1]

[Hebroni](/people/moshe-hebroni/) was the duty officer who received the letter from Pierre Gemayel to [Ariel Sharon](/people/ariel-sharon/) warning of the impending [Sabra and Shatila massacres](/events/sabra-and-shatila-massacres/). He made copies of the letter and informed [Sagi](/people/yehoshua-sagi/). After the massacres, [Hebroni](/people/moshe-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](/people/yehoshua-sagi/) in the massacres.[^1]

[Hebroni](/people/moshe-hebroni/) later worked for the Jewish Agency and was an unofficial adviser to [Yitzhak Shamir](/people/yitzhak-shamir/) after leaving [Mossad](/organizations/mossad/) in 1989. He confirmed [Ben-Menashe's](/people/ari-ben-menashe/) access to highly sensitive intelligence material.[^1]
