Score another win for the IDF. In a “complex operation” earlier today, Israeli forces liberated an Arab Israeli civilian that Hamas has held hostage since the October 7 massacres. This time they had to go underground in Rafah to get him:
The IDF and the Shin Bet on Tuesday rescued Israeli-Bedoin hostage Qaid Farhan Alkadi, who was held by Hamas since October 7, from Rafah. The operation was led by Division 162, Brigade 401, Yahalom anti-tunnel special forces, along with the Shayetet 13 naval commandos.
The hostage’s name is Kaid Farhan al-kaadi, age 52, from Rahat. Al-Kaadi is healthy and is undergoing further health checks at an unidentified hospital.
It is the fourth successful operation to rescue live Israeli hostages from Hamas, though there have been several successful operations finding and returning dozens of bodies of hostages killed by Hamas.
His family rushed to meet him…
