Israeli authorities have rescued ten Indian construction workers who were lured to the West Bank village of al-Zaayem with false promises of employment. Upon arrival, their passports were confiscated, preventing their return to Israel. The workers endured over a month in captivity before an overnight operation involving the Population and Immigration Authority, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the Justice Ministry secured their release. The IDF had earlier detected the illicit use of the stolen passports, which facilitated the rescue. The workers are now in a secure location while authorities assess their employment status. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities faced by foreign laborers in conflict zones.
