Yahya Skaf
Yahya Skaf, also spelled Yehia Skaff (Arabic: يحيى سكاف), from the Bhanine (Menyeh) 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] Israel claims he was killed during battle with his body never found.[2] It is claimed by the Khiam Center that his family and some released detainees have borne witness to his imprisonment.[1]
A supporter of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, he subsequently joined Fatah to participate in military operations against Israel.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah suggested Skaf be a part of a prisoner exchange during the 2006 Lebanon War.[3] However, he was not included in the July 2008 prisoner exchange.
