The development comes after a resident of the village lured the Indians to A-Za'im with promises of work, then took away their passports. Without their passports, the Indians could not return to Israel.
The workers were stuck in A-Za'im for more than one month before the Population and Immigration Authority rescued them.
As per a report by Times Of Israel, the Population and Immigration Authority said that the workers had been held for over a month.
These workers were rescued in an overnight operation led by the authorities together with the IDF and the Justice Ministry, and have been transferred to a safe location until their employment status is determined.
During the operation, the Israeli forces intercepted some suspects at a checkpoint, which led to the recovery of the Indian workers, Ynetnews reported.
