A young woman from central Israel who was forcibly taken by relatives to the Hebron area of the West Bank has been located and brought back in an effort involving the IDF, Israel Police and Palestinian police, Israel Police says in a statement.
Police received a report this evening of a woman in her 20s who lives in the Tel Aviv area and whom relatives had taken by car to the Hebron area. Israeli forces spread out across the area to search for her, along with Palestinian police, the statement says.
The car was eventually found leaving Hebron and stopped by IDF troops who called police to the scene, according to the statement. The woman was escorted by police while her relatives were taken for further questioning.
