Palestinian Authority security forces helped extract a 22-year-old Jewish Israeli woman who was seen wandering in the Palestinian city of Jericho in the West Bank, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration tells The Times of Israel.

The Civil Administration reached out to Ramallah upon receiving a report that the woman was stranded in Jericho and the PA forces helped locate her and hand her over to Israeli forces who then transferred her to the police for questioning.

A preliminary inquiry found that she had mistakenly “taken a wrong turn” into Jericho, the Civil Administration says, using the opportunity to remind Israelis that entry into the West Bank’s Area A is illegal.

PA forces have assisted in these extractions several times in the past month.
