Channel 12 shows the first pictures seen to date of the Israeli woman who crossed into Syria two weeks ago, and was returned under a deal brokered by Russia.

The woman, whose name has not been released for publication, is said to be a 25-year-old from Modiin Illit.
She was flown home from Moscow overnight Thursday-Friday, and is said to be have spent the weekend in a Shin Bet facility, being questioned — gently, reports have stressed — about the incident.
