An Israeli hostage kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 was rescued today in an operation by the IDF and Shin Bet.
52-year-old Qaid Farhan Alkadi, from the largely Arab city of Rahat in Southern Israel, was rescued by Shayetet 13, the 401st Brigade, Yahalom, and ISA forces under the command of the 162nd Division in a complex operation in the south of the Gaza Strip, according to a joint statement by the IDF and Shin Bet.
It continued: “No further details can be published due to considerations of the safety of our hostages, the security of our forces, and national security.
But they confirmed that Alkadi was “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.”
