This horrifying story comes from Gaza:
A young hostage kidnapped by ISIS terrorists at age 11 and then held by Hamas for a decade has been rescued by Israeli forces in Gaza after a months-long operation led by the US, officials said Thursday.
Fawzia Amin Sido, 21, was freed earlier this week, with footage showing her being embraced tightly by her emotional family soon after touching back down in her native Iraq.
“Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces,” tweeted David Saranga, the director of the digital diplomacy bureau at Israel’s foreign ministry.

Sido had been snatched from her home back in 2014 when Islamic State jihadists were carrying out terror attacks on Yazidi communities across the country.The young girl was then quickly sold off and trafficked to Gaza where she was held captive for the next 10 years.
Iraq’s government apparently gained information on Sido which they passed on to the U.S. Jordan was also involved in the rescue operation, although the linked article does not explain how. And, of course, Israel.
Anyone who fails to understand that Hamas represents the ultimate in evil, along with Hezbollah, ISIS and the Iranian mullahs, is a moral cretin. The fact that the Biden administration has pushed for a cease fire in Gaza is disgraceful. Israel should keep up its military action until every single member or supporter of Hamas has surrendered and left the country, or is dead.
