"US Collaborates with Israel and Egypt for Safe Passage of American Soldier's Family from Gaza"

The mother and uncle of a U.S. serviceman were rescued from Gaza through a secret operation coordinated by the U.S., Israel, Egypt, and other entities. Zahra Sckak and her brother-in-law, both American citizens, were extracted amidst intense fighting and airstrikes. The operation was unique in its effort to remove American citizens and their relatives during the conflict. The U.S. played a liaison role, with no American officials on the ground. The rescue came after the death of Zahra's husband, Abedalla Sckak, in the conflict and amid appeals for help from the family and advocacy groups.
