A Russian-mediated prisoner exchange between Israel and Syria came closer to completion on Thursday after Israel released two Syrian shepherds for crossing into the country illegally. Preparations are also underway to return an Israeli woman detained by Damascus.

Israel and Syria are holding indirect negotiations through Russia on three prisoners. Nahal al-Makat and Diab Kahamuz are Druze residents from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Makat received a three-year suspended sentence in June. Kahamuz was charged in 2018 with helping an enemy of the state, drug offenses and more, and received a 14-year prison sentence.

The Israeli woman — who has not been named publicly — crossed into the Syrian province of Quneitra accidentally and was subsequently detained, according to the Syrian state-run SANA news outlet. The Times of Israel reported that she crossed into Syria “recently” for unknown reasons. She is 25 years old and from the Modi’in Illit West Bank settlement, which is populated by ultra-Orthodox Jews. She has left the religious community, according to the outlet.

An Israeli government plane took off from Tel Aviv for Moscow Thursday night to bring home the Israeli woman. She was transferred from Syrian to Russian custody on Wednesday. She will be questioned by Israeli security agents upon her return, according to Israeli media outlets.
