Golan team returns home

NARITA, Japan - Maj. Fumihiro Kayanuma (front), head of Japan's Self-Defense Forces personnel involved in U.N. peacekeeping operations in the Israeli-held Golan Heights, and other members of the team are welcomed on arrival at Narita airport near Tokyo on Jan. 17, 2013. The 12 SDF members arrived home following the return of the 33-member first batch in late December, after Japan ordered their withdrawal due to worsening security conditions amid the civil war in Syria.
