IDF Rescues Yazidi Girl Held by Hamas in Gaza for a Decade
ISIS kidnapped Sido in 2014 in Iraq and sold her to a Hamas terrorist.
The IDF rescued Fawzi Amin Sido, a Yazidi girl held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for a decade.
Hamas kidnapped Sido when she was 11:
Israel’s foreign ministry said Sido was taken from her family in 2014 amid ISIS attacks on Yazidi communities in Iraq, as the terror organization known for its brutalities took control of vast swaths of the country. She was then sold off to a Gazan man who was visiting Iraq at the time.
Israeli security forces recently extracted Sido and returned her home. No further details were immediately provided on the circumstances of her rescue.
In a statement, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said Sido had been released through joint efforts “in high coordination” with the US embassies in Baghdad and Amman along with Jordanian authorities. It made no mention of Israeli involvement.
A US State Department spokesperson said the US on October 1 “helped to safely evacuate from Gaza a young Yazidi woman to be reunited with her family in Iraq.”
I made a promise to Fawzia the yazidi who was hostage of Hamas in Gaza that I would bring her back home to her mother in Sinjar. To her it seemed surreal and impossible but not to me, my only enemy was time. Our team reunited her moments ago with her mother and family in Sinjar pic.twitter.com/KuN9JPuGOb

a blunt force instrument to the heads of evil!!
If you call yourself a “progressive” but you demonize Israel to support those who support slavery, killing gays and child rape…….
You are an idiot.
Worse.
I can’t imagine the horror she has lived the past 10 years.
I can imagine, it sickens me. Everyone involved in holding and abusing her deserves death.
This poor girl! What’s even worse is the left couldn’t give a fuck about her simply because she’s a Jew 🤬
The poor girl was only 11 when captured and enslaved. What animals her captors were! Her story is her own to keep to herself or share, but one wonders if she left behind children or how they prevented her from getting pregnant or having children … Sadly, the Yazidi have learned how to cope with these victims since ISIS over ran their home country so many years ago. God bless, child.
I thought the same, surely she was a sex slave and had many children
Palestinians buying and selling slaves.
Both Africa and Arabs have a long history of enslaving people, and continue to do so.. Those who want reparations should be sent back to Africa to seek them.
I need all the good news I can get and that was very good news.
I stand with Joe, Kamala and the UN as they demand a ceasefire stop this type of thing.
I’m hoping you misread the article. You want to stop rescues????
American lacks who support Pales.
I meant a down vote – sorry
Remember who was POTUS when ISIS rose to power.
Remember which POTUS snuffed ISIS to nothing within 6 months.
SIX MONTHS.
That’s not a tactical problem, that’s a leadership problem.
This girl was sold into slavery because of Obama.
Say that again- OBAMA is the reason this girl was sold into slavery.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
This AND shwacking the lynching guy.
Nice work, guys. And right around Rosh Hashana, too.
God’s blessings on you all.
She is going to need a lot of deprogramming
My concern is that she will probably never recover.

In an operation coordinated by the IDF and led by @cogatonline
@USEmbassyJLM
and other international actors, Fawzia Amin Sido was freed from captivity and returned home to Iraq.
At 11-years-old, Fawzia was trafficked by ISIS to a Hamas terrorist in Gaza, who was presumably killed during IDF strikes. She fled to a hideout in which she was rescued in a secret mission through the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
This is further proof of the connection between Hamas and ISIS, as well as the crimes against humanity committed by the terrorist organization in Gaza.
We will continue to act to dismantle the Hamas-ISIS terrorist organization and free all hostages in Hamas captivity.
