Israel’s military said Tuesday it had rescued a 52-year-old hostage held by Hamas since October 7, in a “complex operation” in southern Gaza.
Kaid Farhan Al-Qadi, a Bedouin Israeli citizen from Rahat in southern Israel, is in a stable condition in hospital, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. “He is in a stable medical condition and is being transferred for medical checks at a hospital. His family has been updated with the details, and the IDF is accompanying them,” its statement read. The Hostages Families Forum, which campaigns for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, celebrated the return of the father of 11.
“However, we must remember: military operations alone cannot free the remaining 108 hostages, who have suffered 326 days of abuse and terror.” More than 200 people were taken hostage by Hamas during the militant group’s cross-border attack on Israel on October 7, which also left more than 1,200 Israelis dead.
