Troops of Operation HADIN KAI in collaboration with the Army Headquarters Intervention Force and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have rescued two male occupants of an abducted vehicle following an encounter with suspected terrorists.
Security sources said the incident occurred at about 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, while troops of Sector 3, were conducting a patrol along a Main Supply Route (MSR).
The troops reportedly received credible human intelligence indicating that suspected terrorists had abducted a J5 vehicle and its occupants.
Following the report, the troops swiftly mobilised to the scene and engaged the terrorists with disciplined fire, forcing them to retreat.
The sources said the troops subsequently secured the vehicle and rescued the two male occupants unharmed.
The recovered vehicle was towed to a safe location for further necessary action.
No casualties were recorded among the rescued occupants.
