A 21-year-old Yazidi woman was rescued from Gaza this week after being kidnapped by Islamic State militants when she was just 11 years old from northern Iraq. Israel, the United States and Iraq reportedly worked together on a months-long operation to facilitate the rescue.
Chief of staff to Iraq’s foreign minister Silwan Sinjaree told Reuters that the woman, identified as Fawzia Sido, was freed after 4 months of failed attempts and complications due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict taking place in the Gaza strip.
A source disclosed that Iraq had reached out to the United States, which then coordinated with Israel to free her from her captors and facilitate her safe return to her homeland. Officials told Reuters that she is now reunited with her family in Iraq and resting after her rescue.
The Israeli military released a statement saying that the person holding her captive had been presumably killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza after which Sido fled and hid in Gaza, awaiting a rescue. “In a complex operation coordinated between Israel, the United States, and other international actors, she was recently rescued in a secret mission from the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing,” the statement read.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
