The Israeli army says it has rescued a Bedouin Arab hostage who was kidnapped by Hamas gunmen in the course of the 7 October assault on Israel and brought again to Gaza.
Kaid Farhan Elkadi, 52, was rescued in a “complicated operation within the southern Gaza Strip”, in line with a press release from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
No additional particulars may very well be printed “because of concerns of the security of our hostages, the safety of our forces, and nationwide safety”, it stated.
Mr Elkadi is in a secure situation and has been transferred to a hospital for medical checks.
The father of 11 is from a Bedouin village within the Rahat space, within the Negev desert.
He labored for a few years as a safety guard at Kibbutz Magen, the place he was kidnapped 10 months in the past.
