A Jewish Israeli woman of Turkish descent, recently discharged from the IDF, was detained in Turkey on charges of “service in a foreign military,” Arutz 7 reported Wednesday.

The woman had traveled to Turkey to visit her parents when Islamist groups shared her personal information with authorities, prompting a complaint that sought to block her departure from the country. She remained in custody for several days.

Authorities later placed her under house arrest. Channel 12 reported that Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar acted swiftly, coordinating with U.S. officials to mobilize resources for her release.

After extensive efforts, she was freed in a covert operation and flown back to Israel via a third country, accompanied by Israeli representatives.
