A woman employed in a gas station near Betar Illit was kidnapped by Arabs after finishing her shift late Monday night, the eve of 3 Tammuz 5774.
According to the limited information reported Tuesday morning, she managed to phone for help and IDF soldiers during the night rescued the woman from Beit Jala, a PA (Palestinian Authority) village near Beit Lechem.
Additional information will be reported as it becomes available.
UPDATE: The 21-year-old female managed to call the ‘100’ emergency dispatcher to report she was being abducted by Arabs. Preliminary information indicates she was standing at a hitchhiking post when Arabs stopped and forced her into their vehicle.
Military officials managed to ping her phone to triangulate her location. It appears she also was successful in leaving her phone line open to the emergency dispatcher.
Soldiers arrived in Beit Jala and rescued her. A search is ongoing for the kidnappers.

B”H. Maybe it’s not so silly to listen to what our leaders said initially about hitchhiking.
You must be kidding
Such garbage
What will it take to get people to stop hitchiking? B”H she is OK.
The Land has a cancer upon it, that cancer is on two legs. When doctors face such a challenge they often use radiation therapy to eradicate the cancer. What can Bibi et al learn from this, duh …..
What happened to Israeli roads for Israelis?
FAKE!! NOT TRUE!! I read in the Israeli media that the police made this up to make it look like now they are on top of things. Very coincidental when this “happened “
was this the botched sting op being kept very hush?
First, let me say how relieved I am to hear that an abduction was foiled without loss of life or injury.
But, I’m confused about the details of the incident. She was able to keep her cell phone and use it in some way to contact authorities without the kidnappers knowledge, but when she was found the kidnappers weren’t around to be apprehended?
See what I wrote above. This story is another police lie! this never happened that’s why it makes no sense. They are pretending to be competent. This police system is worthless. Listen to that poor boy calling for help. I heard it! he says he’s kidnapped. The Arab says put your head down, you hear the bullet shots and the idiot keeps saying hello hello and then says it’s a prank??? this person is a nut!
@7. If what you say is true, I’m not surprised.
