Jerusalem, 28 April, 2019 (TPS) -- UPDATE: The IDF stated Sunday that it has transferred the two Syrians released as a goodwill gesture to Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Red Cross at the Qunetra crossing on the border with Syria.
The two were released after Russia’s key role in the recovery and return of the remains of IDF MIA Sgt. Zachary Baumel.
Baumel went missing in 1982 during a battle in Lebanon 37 years ago. His remains were returned to Israel earlier this month.
The Russian army, together with the Syrians, found Baumel’s burial place.
