Five women have been rescued from a human trafficking ring that forced them into prostitution in Jerusalem, Israel.
The investigation uncovered that the traffickers operated out of Tel Aviv, illegally bringing women from South Africa to Israel to work as prostitutes. According to a report by Israel’s national broadcaster KAN, the rescue operation took place in June during a raid on a suspected brothel where South African women were discovered.
A few days after the initial raid, another South African suspect was arrested in south Tel Aviv. In July, a fifth suspect, holding Nigerian and South African citizenship, was arrested at Ben Gurion Airport while attempting to flee Israel.
