MOTHER AND UNCLE OF A US SERVICEMAN ARE RESCUED FROM GAZA IN A SECRET OPERATION
This undated image provided by Fadi Sckak shows a family photo of Abedalla Sckak
with his wife Zahra Sckak and children. Abedalla Sckak, 56, died after being
shot in the fighting in Gaza last month. He is the father of three American
sons, including a U.S. service member. The U.S. coordinated with Israel, Egypt
and others to rescue the mother of a U.S. service member who had been trapped by
fighting in Gaza. A official said Zahra Sckak made it out of Gaza on New Year’s
Eve, along with her American brother-in-law.(Fadi Sckak via AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The mother and American uncle of a U.S. service member were
safe outside of Gaza after being rescued from the fighting in a secret operation
coordinated by the U.S., Israel, Egypt and others, a U.S. official told The
Associated Press on Wednesday.
It is the only known operation of its kind to extract American citizens and
their close family members during the months of devastating ground fighting and
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. The vast majority of people who have made it out of
northern and central Gaza through the Rafah crossing into Egypt fled south in
the initial weeks of the war. An escape from the heart of the Palestinian
territory through intense combat has become far more perilous and difficult
since.
Zahra Sckak, 44, made it out of Gaza on New Year’s Eve, along with her
brother-in-law, Farid Sukaik, an American citizen, a U.S. official told The
Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to confirm the
rescue, which had been kept quiet for security reasons.
Sckak’s husband, Abedalla Sckak, was shot earlier in the Israel-Hamas war as the
family fled from a building hit by an airstrike. He died days later. One of her
three American sons, Spec. Ragi A. Sckak, 24, serves as an infantryman in the
U.S. military.

The extraction involved the Israeli military and local Israeli officials who
oversee Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the U.S. official said. There
was no indication that American officials were on the ground in Gaza.
“The United States played solely a liaison and coordinating role between the
Sckak family and the governments of Israel and Egypt,” the official said.
A family member and U.S.-based lawyers and advocates working on the family’s
behalf had described Sckak and Sukaik as pinned down in a building surrounded by
combatants, with little or no food and with only water from sewers to drink.
There were few immediate details of the on-the-ground operation. It took place
after extended appeals from Sckak’s family and U.S.-based citizens groups for
help from Congress members and the Biden administration.
The State Department has said some 300 American citizens, legal permanent
residents and their immediate family members remain in Gaza, at risk from ground
fighting, airstrikes and widening starvation and thirst in the besieged
territory.
With no known official U.S. presence on the ground, those still left in the
territory face a dangerous and sometimes impossible trip to Egypt’s border
crossing out of Gaza, and a bureaucratic struggle for U.S., Egyptian and Israeli
approval to get themselves, their parents and young children out of Gaza.
