A 21-year-old Yazidi woman, who was kidnapped by ISIS militants in Iraq over a decade ago, has been freed in Gaza through a U.S.-led operation.
The rescue involved coordination between the United States, Jordan, Israel, and Iraq. The woman, who was abducted at the age of 11, has now been reunited with her family in Iraq. This marks a significant victory for the Yazidi community, which has suffered greatly under ISIS rule.
The operation highlights ongoing international efforts to rescue those still held captive by extremist groups.

This is exactly why we need strong military action and international cooperation to defeat radical terrorism and protect innocent lives.

It’s heartbreaking that this Yazidi woman had to endure a decade of captivity, but I’m relieved she’s finally free. The fact that so many women and girls have been enslaved, abused, and forgotten during ISIS’s reign is just horrifying. It’s a reminder that we can’t ignore the gendered violence that happens in war zones and conflicts like this. I hope this operation brings more attention to the women still held captive and leads to more rescues. We can’t let their stories be erased.
While it's great that this woman has finally been freed, it’s frustrating to see how much U.S. resources and military involvement are still tangled up overseas. We shouldn't need to be the world’s police, constantly intervening in other countries’ affairs. It's time to focus on defending our own borders and letting other nations handle their own problems.

It's a relief to see international cooperation working to bring justice and rescue victims like this brave Yazidi woman, but we need to keep pushing for more support for communities devastated by extremist violence.
