The operation this week also involved Israel, Jordan and Iraq, according to officials. Fawzia Sido is a member of the Yazidi religious minority, of which more than 5,000 members were killed and thousands more kidnapped in a 2014 campaign that the UN has said constituted genocide. Silwan Sinjaree, the chief of staff of Iraq’s foreign minister, said she was freed after more than four months of efforts including several attempts that failed because of the difficult security situation resulting from Israel’s military offensive in Gaza

  1. Fawzia Sido is a smart young woman, she connected with an Israeli news analyst Roi Kais and asked him to ask the IDF help her get out of Gaza and so he did and they freed her after 10 years of Suffering, the US and others helped on the diplomatic level but only IDF are in Gaza and could and were willing to help her.

  2. She was sold to a Hamas member and he married with her and forced her to give him children. the man killed in a IDF bombing and then she was able to call for help and IDF rescued her.

  3. When we know what the US did to the Iraqis and to Iraq and how Bibi and Israel was advocating for the war, telling the US conducted a cross country, time taking and multinational operation to save the life of an Iraqi girl is A MOCKERY OF THE HIGHEST KIND!
