A 21-year-old woman kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Iraq a decade ago has been freed from Gaza this week in a secret operation months in the making that involved Israel, the United States and Iraq, officials say. The woman is a member of the ancient Yazidi religious minority mostly found in Iraq and Syria of which more than 5000 members were killed and thousands more kidnapped in an IS campaign in 2014 that the United Nations has said constituted genocide.
“In a complex operation co-ordinated between Israel, the United States, and other international actors, she was recently rescued in a secret mission from the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing,” it said. After entering Israel, she continued on to Jordan through the Allenby Bridge Crossing and from there returned to her family in Iraq, the military said.
