A female Border Police officer illegally entered Yatta, a Palestinian village near Hebron, while wearing her uniform in order to visit her boyfriend on Thursday.
The IDF later corroborated the report, confirming that security forces operated to rescue her and that no injuries were reported.
The officer, based in the West Bank, was picked up by a Palestinian vehicle, Israeli public broadcaster KAN News reported. Army Radio's Doron Kadosh noted that she was picked up near Kiryat Arba.
Security officials contacted Palestinian officials in order to locate her, Kadosh reported.
She was carried out on a stretcher by her Palestinian boyfriend and transferred to security forces outside Yatta, Kadosh reported.
The military also emphasized that entering Area A is "dangerous and prohibited by law" for Israeli civilians.
IDF rescues Israelis entering Area A by mistake
The IDF said on Tuesday evening that it rushed forces to two locations in the West Bank to rescue Israelis who entered Area A by mistake.
The first incident happened in the Arab village of Ni’lin, located near Ramallah, following a report that an Israeli civilian had entered the village with her vehicle.
After IDF forces searched the area, the forces located the civilian and safely rescued her outside the village.
A rising number of Israelis are illegally entering Area A in the West Bank, creating life-threatening situations that could end in lynching or murder, security sources told Walla on Sunday.
The officials said Hamas is driving incitement in these areas, while lone-actor attacks remain a concern. They urged Israelis to obey the law and avoid Palestinian Authority cities.
Security sources said every incident of an Israeli entering Area A carries the potential to inflame the sector. In the past year, several lynchings were narrowly averted thanks to rapid IDF intervention and coordination with other security bodies.
