Israel Releases Two Prisoners to Syria
(Ha'aretz) Josh Breiner - Israel on Saturday released two Syrian prisoners to Syria as a gesture of "good will" following the return of the body of Israeli soldier Zachary Baumel who was killed in Lebanon in 1982. The two are a Fatah operative jailed for attempting to kidnap Israeli soldiers and a prisoner jailed for smuggling drugs. Both asked not to be returned to Syria. Baumel's body was retrieved by Russian forces from a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria earlier this month.
