Yair Dori's right arm had been amputated at the elbow, there were wound scars all over his body, and the sight of one of his eyes was seriously im- paired. Dori had been hospitalized in Egypt and underwent several oper- ations. He was released in ex- change for an Egyptian lieutenant, Mouhammed Hassan Salameh, who was wounded and captured during the Israeli raid on Shadwan Island in the Gulf of Suez in January 1970. The Egyptian was reported to be fully recovered. Chief of Staff Gen. Haim Bar Lev was on hand at the Ismailia exchange point when the exchange was effected to welcome Dori. The soldier was flown by helicopter to a hospital. He was the first Israeli prisoner- of-war to be repatriated in many months. Egypt and Syria hold 14 Israeli prisoners of war. Of the 11 in Egypt, some are sick and entitled to repatriation under the Geneva Convention but Egypt refuses to release them, it was learned. There are 71 Egyptian and 40 Sy- rian POWs in Israel.
