A team of Israeli prison guards from the "Nachshon" unit, which flew to the US earlier this week, will link up tomorrow with US marshalls from a New York prison and will receive full responsibility for Kobi Alexander at JF Kennedy Airport. Later in the day, the transfer will be complete when Alexander is flown home and taken to Nitzan prison after landing in Israel. Alexander is being brought home to serve the rest of his sentence at his own request and with the approval of Minister of Justice Ayelet Shaked.
