Yahya Skaf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yahya Skaf, also spelled Yehia Skaff, from the Akkar district of Lebanon, is a person claimed to have been arrested by Israel on 11 March 1978 for participation in the Coastal Road massacre.[1] He has never been tried and Israel has denied his existence. It's claimed by the Khiam Center that his family and some released detainees have born witness to his imprisonment. [1].

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah suggested Skaf be a part of a prisoner exchange during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.[2]
