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 US official told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to confirm the rescue, which had been kept quiet for security reasons.

The extraction involved the Israeli military and local Israeli officials who oversee Gaza and the West Bank, the US 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 US-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 US-based citizens groups for help from Congress members and US President Joe

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, where Israel says the Hamas terror group plunders much of the aid that does enter.
With no known official US 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 US, Egyptian and Israeli approval to get themselves, their parents and young children out of Gaza.
Israel says it is making an effort to avoid harm to civilians while fighting a terror group embedded within the civilian population. It has long accused Gaza-based terror groups of using Paleostinians in the Strip as human shields.
