Pvt. Ori Megidish was found in good condition, the Israel Defense Forces said in a joint statement with the security agency Shin Bet Monday, according to the Times of Israel.
Megidish, who was believed to be isolated in captivity, was rescued during an overnight ground operation.
Video posted to the state of Israel’s X feed showed the soldier’s emotional reunification with her grandmother as the pair embraced.
“The moment Ori Megidish, who was kidnapped by Hamas on 7/10 was reunited with her grandmother,” the caption read. “We will do everything we can to bring the rest of our families home.”
The IDF said Megidish has already been able to provide valuable intel regarding the hostage situation in Gaza.
