The Israel Defense Forces on Friday rescued an Israeli civilian who reported being abducted in Jericho, in the Jordan Valley, the military said.

According to Channel 12 News, the woman, a new immigrant, met an acquaintance and was driven to an apartment in Jericho, where she says a group of Palestinian men attempted to assault her before she escaped.

She was able to contact Israeli authorities, prompting the IDF to dispatch forces to the area to conduct searches.
