Police successfully rescued a woman who had barricaded herself in her 11th-floor apartment and threatened to jump, preventing a potential tragedy. The incident occurred Thursday evening in a high-rise residential building. Upon receiving the report, numerous police forces were dispatched to the scene, including special units due to the high-risk nature of the situation.
Special forces from the National Counter-Terrorism Unit (YAMAM), along with the police negotiation team, were deployed. Recognizing the immediate danger to the woman's life and that standard negotiation tactics were not yielding a quick resolution, authorities decided on an active intervention.
Members of the "Monkeys" team, a specialized YAMAM unit skilled in high-altitude operations and building climbing, rappelled from the building's roof directly to the 11th-floor apartment window. Within seconds, they executed a swift and surprising takeover of the woman, neutralizing the threat and ensuring her safety.
The operation concluded successfully with no injuries. The police are currently investigating the circumstances and background that led to the woman's barricade and threats.
