David Dadon , previous Israeli Ambassador in Jordan , wrote on July 24 , 2001 : " After thoroughly studying the case , we decided to center our efforts in mobilizing humanitarian international organizations and high - level friendly personalities to help us check the possibility of Guy Hever being incarcerated in a Syrian jail . We believe that this effort towards the Syrian authorities must continue . Any further help from International Organization and people of good will is most welcome and will contribute to maintain our efforts to find the young Israeli soldier . " On February 13 , 2007 , a Syrian organization calling itself " The Resistance Committees for the Release of the Golan Heights " claimed to be holding Hever .

Army officials said at the time that the IDF was investigating the claim , although it stated that this was not the first time that an organization claimed to have Hever in captivity . In July 2009 , Rina Hever , said that she met with Israel ' s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu .

End of July 2009 Israel has launched a quiet diplomatic campaign in an attempt to ascertain the whereabouts of missing Israel Defense Forces soldier . Israel passed a message along to Syria via Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in which Jerusalem communicated its desire to obtain any information that Syria may possess on Hever . While it is not clear if the soldier is in Syria , the move represents a significant change in Israel ' s official policy in the case . The goal of the campaign is to determine whether Syria can provide information on Hever ' s fate .
