2 civilian Israeli pilots released from Eritrean custody

None

Two civilian Israeli pilots, a man and a woman, are currently on their way back home from Eritrea, where they were held in custody for two weeks on charges of arms smuggling.

 

The Foreign Ministry says the Israelis were held in their hotel room, and that there had been fears for their lives. The ministry says it worked vigorously to secure their release. (Ronen Medzini)
