Ex-Commandos Rescue US Woman Imprisoned in Arab Home


Former IDF commandos secretly entered a Palestinian Authority village on Monday and rescued an American woman and her 2 1/2-year-old son from her Muslim husband, who had beaten and and held her captive for three years. The woman and child flew to the United States Wednesday night and are en route to her family’s home in Ohio.


The Arab met the woman during a visit to the United States and enticed her to return with him to Israel and to the house where he lives with his first wife and several children, according to Voice of Israel government radio.


The commando who was interviewed by Menashe pointed out that the IDF and American government were not involved in the mission although the Consulate was updated so officials could be prepared to help the woman after her rescue. He said there was no problem entering the Arab village and that the rescuers crossed the IDF checkpoint when they knew there would be a minimum number of soldiers.


He said they carried out no illegal activities, and that they did not care if they were stopped on their way to Tel Aviv from the village because they had accomplished their mission of freeing the woman.

Interesting article, thanks for posting.

There seems to be this type of activity to recover women and/or children from these type of countries whose women have ZERO rights, and the men can do whatever they want, even if its morally wrong (at least by western standards).

I remember an Australian outfit of former SASR who have done something similar

I am happy to see a happy ending here.
