U.S. Woman Rescued from Palestinian Captivity
Ten former IDF combat soldiers rescued a U.S. citizen and her two-and-a-half-year-old son from a [West Bank] Palestinian village in the Tulkarm area where they had been held captive for three years, Israel Radio revealed.
The woman, who had married a Palestinian man she met in the U.S., was prevented from leaving the house. The man's first wife and four children also live in the house.
After efforts to bring about the woman's release through the Palestinian Authority failed, the woman's parents contacted a Jewish American man who had served in a combat unit in the IDF. He contacted friends in Israel who planned the rescue operation, gathered intelligence, and carried it out successfully.
The woman and her son were transferred to the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem and left for Ohio.
