Hostage Rescued by IDF in Gaza Tunnel
The IDF rescued 52 year old hostage
Farhan al-Qadi from a Bedouin community near the southern city of Rahat.
Al-Qadi worked as a guard at Kibbutz Magen and was kidnapped by Hamas at Mivtahim.
Commandos of Navy’s elite Shayetet 13 unit discovered al-Qadi in a Gaza tunnel.
The operation was led by IDF Southern Command, the Shin Bet security agency, and the IDF’s 162nd Division.
He is reported to be in good condition.
Farhan al-Qadi’s brother said,”I can’t explain this feeling, it’s better even than the arrival of a new baby,” the brother says. “Thank God, we are thankful to everyone and we hope to see him soon healthy. We’re so happy, very happy to get this news.”
