The Blessing of Gomel for Salvation from Robbery

Question

We entered an Arab village and Arabs stopped our vehicle and demanded 10,000 NIS. After about 5 minutes, soldiers arrived and took us out of the village. Do we need to recite the Gomel blessing?

Answer

Shalom!
If there was no danger to life, no blessing is recited.
