Rescued hostage Farhan al-Qadi discovered alone in tunnel by IDF troops

[Grim Reaper 6]

Farhan al-Qadi was alone in a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip where special forces located him earlier today.

No other hostages or Hamas terrorists were alongside him, and troops did not face any resistance.

It is believed that the Hamas guards had fled the area in which he was being held, or al-Qadi managed to escape his captors, but remained inside the tunnel.

According to the IDF, al-Qadi was not inside this tunnel for the entire 10 months of captivity, and he is believed to have been moved around several times.

‘Brought back to life’: Family hails rescue of Israeli hostage from Hamas tunnel in Gaza

The family of the first Israeli hostage to have been reclaimed alive from inside Hamas’ sprawling tunnel network underneath Gaza have hailed his “unbelievable” rescue, saying it is as if he has been “brought back to life.”

Farhan Al-Qadi, 52, a Bedouin Israeli citizen from Rahat in southern Israel who had been held hostage since October 7, is “in a stable medical condition” after being rescued from a tunnel in southern Gaza in a “complex operation,” an Israeli military spokesman told CNN Tuesday.

Israeli special forces, acting on intelligence, were combing a network of tunnels in southern Gaza when they found Al-Qadi, two Israeli military officials told CNN. Al-Qadi was alone, without his Hamas captors, when Israeli forces found him, one of the officials said..

Finally, some good news!

The following is a short excerpt from a Times of Israel op-ed. The entire article is hilarious and scathing in its sarcasm.

Rescue, shmescue, as the loathsome Jews would say
A Muslim liberated from heroic Hamas by the hideous Zionists? That can’t be true. And if it is, I don’t want to hear it.

Wait a minute. This can’t be right.

The brutal Jewish state, deep into its genocidal assault on the Palestinians of Gaza, diverts hundreds of its murderous special forces into valiant Hamas’s underground network to save a middle-aged Muslim man?

Surely some mistake. Muslims from the River to the Sea must be liberated from Israel. Isn’t that our slogan? Israel doesn’t do the liberating.

That was definitely a good one. Watch it catch on along with 'murderer-in-chief'.

I loved the part where Hamas, upon realizing they had abducted a Muslim by mistake, placed him, "with loving care", in a tunnel they knew the hideous Zionists would find, so that he could be brought safely home.

But my favourite line was murderous special forces because my boyfriend, who's been vacationing in Gaza these past few months is exactly that.

Minor revision so as not to offend my boyfriend any more than I already have.

You went and quoted my post before I made the edit. If my boyfriend sees it, there will be no chachkas from Gaza for me.

Anyway, what's this about Facebook jail?

One thing I forgot to mention about this particular hostage is that he told the IDF that he had, at one point, been with another hostage who died next to him. The name of this hostage has not yet been released as far as I know. So it's a good news, bad news story. But I'm glad for him that he has been found and is now safe.

I read a bit on the tunnels and it's just staggering how many miles worth are believed to be under Gaza...

If the guards over the hostages left to fight in another section and never came back,it would be a miracle if they could ever find a way out.

Glad they found 1 alive at least.

The name of the hostage who died next to rescued captive al-Qadi has now been revealed.

Aryeh Zalmanovich died in captivity last December.

Farhan al-Qadi, who was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7 and rescued by IDF troops last week, told Channel 12 News on Wednesday that he was abducted because he refused to point Hamas terrorists to Jews during their attack.

In an interview with the broadcaster, al-Qadi retraced his last 11 months, from when he was taken hostage while at work near Kibbutz Magen by the Gaza border until his rescue.
