Two of them [the Israeli soldiers] were given to the Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] – General Command (PFLP-GC). The results were as follows:
1. The release of 4,700 prisoners (i.e., terrorists) from the Ansar [detention] camp, Nabatieh, and Sidon [in Lebanon].

3. The return of the Palestinian Research Center archive.”
