Hostage rescued from Gaza Alive by IDF & Shin Bet

 

It has been cleared for publication that in a joint operation by the IDF and the Shin Bet, the kidnapped Farhan Kadi, 52, from Rahat, who was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organization to the Gaza Strip on October 7th, was rescued today.

 He was rescued by IDF fighters from Unit Shayetet 13 in a complex rescue operation in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

His medical condition is stable, and he is being transferred for further medical examinations at the hospital.

Al Qadi was brought to Soroka Medical Center, where he is listed in good condition. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to him by phone.

The Hostages Families Forum stated in response to Al Qadi's rescue, " Qaid Farhan Al-Qadi, a 52-year-old Bedouin father of eleven from south of Rahat, was kidnapped on October 7th from his security job at Kibbutz Magen's packing factory. He endured 326 days in captivity."

"Qaid's return home is nothing short of miraculous. However, we must remember: military operations alone cannot free the remaining 108 hostages, who have suffered 326 days of abuse and terror. A negotiated deal is the only way forward. We urgently call on the international community to maintain pressure on Hamas to accept the proposed deal and release all hostages. Every single day in captivity is one too many. The remaining hostages cannot afford to wait for another such miracle," the forum stated.
