Kidnapping

Ababa, 39, a Lod resident and longtime aliyah activist in the Ethiopian Israeli community, has struggled to reach relatives who remain in the Gondar area of Amhara.

The protest follows the Jerusalem Municipality's refusal to permit the abducted girl's family to erect a protest tent.

The claim had been that Israeli soldiers along the Gaza Strip had faced three separate kidnapping attempts, all of which were rebuffed by IDF forces.

“Iraq's Central Criminal Court has sentenced Amir Rahim Jabar Lazim to 15 years in prison under the Anti-Terrorism Law," read the announcement shared by the victim, journalist Shelly Kittelson.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum announced the deaths of "The Beautiful Six" shortly following their murder at the hands of Hamas terrorists in August 2024.

"The first day of school is always exciting," Haymanot's father Tesfaye Kasau said. "It's a happy day. For us, it's another hard day."

Alon later launched federal proceedings against the US prison authorities, and argued that her incarceration in a men's prison and the treatment she received violated her rights.

Police had earlier confirmed an attack on worshippers in the area but said they could not verify the number of people abducted.

“For 911 days, we have been waiting and hoping for our daughter Haymanot to return,” they wrote. “Today, Israel Police has no information, direction, or theory as to what happened to our daughter.”

This is the latest incident of mass kidnapping in a region plagued by violent gangs. Police spokesperson Wasiu Abiodun says that no lives have been lost while security teams assess rescue operations.
