A Canadian-Israeli young woman named Jill Rosenberg, who served in the IDF and volunteered to help the Kurds forces fighting against ISIS in Syria, was abducted by members of the terrorist organization, according to reports in jihadist websites.
According to the report, ISIS people kidnapped Jill in recent days, while she was volunteering to fight with Kurdish forces in Syria in a battle in the town of Kubani. Currently there is no official confirmation of the report.
"Rosenberg was not at all present in the area of Kubani from which she was assumingly abducted," said an American fighter in the Kurdish ranks to a foreign news reporter in the network.
Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon in an interview on the program "Six" on Channel Two this evening referred to the reports, saying "I have no information on the whereabouts of Jill Rosenberg".
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nachshon said: "The Ministry is following various reports on the issue and is trying to get more information." However, diplomatic sources claimed that "there are doubts about the very fact of her abduction."
Rosenberg served in the past in the IDF combat service in the search and rescue unit. She was born in Canada and moved to Israel in 2006 to enlist. She has a degree in aeronautical engineering.
On the Seventeenth Cheshvan she left Tel Aviv to Jordan and from there to Erbil in northern Iraq. "I contacted them on Facebook and told them I wanted to volunteer," wrote Jill recently in an online post. After reaching Syria, she underwent training, met with Kurdish women fighters to learn from them and to give them of her experience in the IDF.
Jill celebrated her 31st birthday last month, she thanked her many friends on the social network for their warm blessings they showered on her. "Remember, life is beautiful," wrote Rosenberg on Facebook on her 31st birthday last month, "In the army we say 'after me', let's show ISIS what it means." It is possible that it was the last sign of life from her.
In 2009 she was arrested and extradited to the United States, after being charged with participation in international fraud, in which she and others stung American pensioners at an estimated $ 25 million. Rosenberg was convicted and sentenced to 4 years in prison, but was released earlier and deported from the United States.
