A Syrian organization has claimed that they are holding Guy Hever, the IDF soldier who disappeared some 10 years ago in the Golan Heights, it was reported on Tuesday evening.
The organization, which calls itself "The Resistance Committees for the Release of the Golan Heights," published an announcement that read, "Don't think millions of your dollars will return the soldier who went missing in the Golan. You know very well how to get him back," according to the report on the Ynet Web site.
The group reportedly demanded the release of nine Syrian prisoners who are currently in Israeli jails in exchange for the missing soldier.
Following the release of the report, Hever's mother, Rina, said that it only reiterated her absolute certainty that her son was, and always has been held by the Syrians.
"I always said that [Syria] is where he is, and no one listened to me," she told Army Radio.
Army officials said that this was not the first time that an organization has claimed to have Hever in its custody, but nonetheless, the military was investigating the latest claim.
Hever was last seen in the Golan Heights in August of 1997.
