Return of tank could lead to new approach for MIA soldiers, sister says

The sister of Yehuda Katz, one of the three soldiers missing from the 1982 Battle of Sultan Yacoub, expresses hope that the return of a tank from the battle to Israel may lead to new thinking about how to deal with getting her brother and the two other soldiers back.

“I am looking for Yehuda, not his tank.The most important thing that’s happened is this has opened… new directions to think about this,” Parchia Hyman tells Israel Radio.

She says the family have continued to lobby the government and expresses dissatisfaction with the way the army has dealt with the issue thus far, including trying to declare her brother, Zachary Baumel, and Zvi Feldman as killed in action.

“I’m definitely not satisfied, we haven’t done enough,” she says. “We can’t forget, we can’t give up.”
