Osnat Ben-Zecharia kisses her daughter Timna, 11, during a candlelight protest held outside Prime Minister Ehud Barak's residence September 14, calling for more action to be taken in locating Israel's missing combat soldiers (MIA's) and making the MIA issue part of the ongoing peace process. About 100 Israelis gathered to protest for increased activity on the part of Barak, who according to The Israeli Association of Former POW's, gave the military order at the battle of Sultan Yacob during the 1982 Lebanon War in which three of Israel's four MIA's were captured. The other soldier, Ron Arad, an aviator, was shot down in an aircraft later in the same war.
