The 52-year-old is currently in stable condition and undergoing evaluation at an Israeli hospital, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Alkadi, a father of 11, has been reunited with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Alkadi was abducted on October 7 during a Hamas attack that sparked the ongoing conflict, along with approximately 250 other Israelis. He resided near Rahat and worked at Kibbutz Magen before his kidnapping, as reported by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. Rear Adm.
