The Syrian regime denied what was reported by the media regarding the existence of a secret clause in the prisoner exchange deal with the Israeli occupation, which led to the release of 3 Syrians in Tel Aviv, in exchange for Damascus's release of an Israeli girl who was arrested after crossing the border into Syria by mistake.
The official news agency (SANA) quoted - from a source in the system - that what was circulated about the release of the Israeli girl, in exchange for Damascus obtaining vaccines for the Corona virus from Israel, was fabricated aimed at offending the liberation of Syrian prisoners in exchange for polishing the image of the occupation.
Israeli media quoted sources as saying that a secret agreement was concluded with Damascus on Friday within the framework of the exchange deal, and the military observer prohibited publishing its details, but it may concern vaccines against "Covid-19".
Arab activists and analysts interacted with the news of that exchange deal, and what media circulated about Israeli financing of the Russian vaccine to be presented to Syria, and respondents considered that the talk about introducing the vaccine within the terms of the deal is a real scandal, and just the beginning of the next.

What's the story of the deal?
Tel Aviv and Damascus announced the completion of a prisoner exchange process via the International Red Cross and with Russian mediation, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for his efforts in this process.
"In line with the directives of the Israeli government, the army has returned two shepherds to the Syrian territories," the statement said, indicating that it had handed them over to representatives of the International Red Cross via the Quneitra crossing.
He indicated that the two persons were arrested "in recent weeks" after "crossing the Alpha Line," which represents the disputed borders between Syria and Israel in the Golan Heights, which Tel Aviv occupied in 1967 and annexed it.
Afterwards, Syria confirmed the release of the two prisoners, Muhammad Hussein and Tariq Al-Obeidan, who were both residents of Quneitra.
The release of the two men comes the day after SANA publishes the news of a prisoner exchange with Israel that allowed the release of the "Syrian militant," Nihal Al-Maqt, in exchange for an Israeli woman. "She entered the Syrian territories in the Quneitra region by mistake and was arrested by the competent authorities.
