Israel thanks Russia for returning tank from 1982 war

Russia has announced it will be returning an Israeli tank that Russia currently owns from the 1982 Lebanon war.  Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement thanking Russian president Vladimir Putin for this gesture.  After the war Syria gave Russia the tank which now resides in a museum in Moscow.  Israel is very happy to be getting the tank back because during the battle where the tank was taken, three Israeli soldiers disappeared.  Israel wants this tank because it will serve as a memorial to the three missing soldiers.
