Israel rescues Gaza hostage abducted in Hamas October 7 attack
ai generated text
Kaid Farhan Al-Qadi, a 52-year-old Bedouin Israeli citizen, was rescued from a tunnel in southern Gaza by the Israeli military. According to the Israeli military, Al-Qadi was in a stable medical condition and was being transferred to a hospital for further medical checks. The rescue operation was described as "complex" and it was not immediately known if the rescue was made under fire or if anyone was killed or wounded.
He is in a stable medical condition and is being transferred for medical checks at a hospital.
Dear Farhan, how moving it is to hear your voice! Our brother has come home. Our brother has returned!
We are working relentlessly to return all of our hostages.
We are doing this in two main ways: through negotiations and through rescue operations. Both approaches require our military presence on the ground and continuous military pressure on Hamas.
Yet Netanyahu and [his] coalition is dragging its feet when it comes to negotiations. In fact, they keep upping the ante … They're now talking within the public sphere about reoccupying Gaza. That's a real concern to Hamas and the international community.
Israel wants control of that border crossing, so this is going to give Israel the impetus to say, 'This is why we need more control over Rafah,'
The talks actually progressed to a point where they felt like the next logical step was to have working groups at lower levels to sit down to hammer out these finer details.
However, we must remember: military operations alone cannot free the remaining 108 hostages, who have suffered 326 days of abuse and terror.
We urgently call on the international community to maintain pressure on Hamas to accept the proposed deal and release all hostages.
Kaid's return home is nothing short of miraculous.
We didn't believe it at first. But when the army told us it was true, we were very excited and very happy.
Suddenly, I heard someone speaking Hebrew outside the door, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it.
