An 8-year-old girl who was inside a stolen vehicle in Samaria on Monday evening has been located safe and reunited with her mother, according to Israeli media reports. The incident began when a vehicle was stolen from an Arab-Israeli family near Nabi Elias, with the girl in the back seat. The suspect drove into the village, and amid fears of an abduction, the IDF raised alert levels in the area. During searches, the girl was found in the center of Nabi Elias after the suspect ejected her from the vehicle and continued driving toward Azzun. She was reunited with her mother, also an Arab-Israeli from the area. A manhunt for the suspect is ongoing. The incident is being treated as a suspected abduction, though the exact circumstances are under investigation.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening in a bulletin on the same thread, the girl was located within approximately 20 minutes of the initial report, and the IDF coordinated the search that led to her safe recovery. The suspect remains at large, and security forces are conducting searches in the Azzun area.
