IDF and Shin Bet released a joint statement Monday saying that the woman, who holds the rank of private was in good condition and has been reunited with her family.

“The IDF and Shin Bet will continue to do their utmost to rescue the captives,” the agencies said in the statement.

A previous version of this story misspelled Ori Megidish’s name.
