He was working as a guard at a packing factory in Kibbutz Magen, one of several farming communities that came under attack.

This operation provided a brief moment of happiness for Israelis after nearly ten months of warfare, yet it also highlighted the painful reality that many hostages remain captive as international negotiators work towards a cease-fire for their release. The military reported that Qaid Farhan Alkadi was saved during a &#8220;complex operation&#8221; in southern Gaza, though details were scarce regarding whether the rescue occurred under fire or if there were any casualties.<\/p>\n<p>Alkadi was among eight members of Israel\u2019s Arab Bedouin community kidnapped on October 7th while he was employed as a guard at a packing factory in Kibbutz Magen, which faced attacks. He is married to two wives and has 11 children. At 52 years old, he is one of only eight hostages rescued alive and notably the first to be freed from an underground location, according to Israeli military sources.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military shared footage showing Alkadi shortly after his rescue; he appeared unshaven and wore a white tank top while smiling with soldiers before being airlifted to a hospital for medical evaluation. Although he looked thin, doctors reported his condition as stable. His family and local residents gathered at Beersheba&#8217;s hospital to welcome him back home.<\/p>\n<p>As his family awaited his arrival at the hospital, one brother held Alkadi\u2019s infant son\u2014born during his captivity\u2014who had not yet met his father. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant described the rescue mission as part of &#8220;daring and courageous activities&#8221; conducted deep within Gaza and emphasized Israel&#8217;s commitment to utilizing every opportunity to bring back hostages.<\/p>\n<p>Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that Alkadi was rescued based on precise intelligence after spending 326 days in captivity across various locations including underground tunnels. Following Alkadi\u2019s arrival at the hospital, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with him by phone and reiterated Israel&#8217;s strategy involving both rescue operations and negotiations for securing remaining hostages&#8217; return: \u201cBoth ways together require our military presence in the field and unceasing military pressure on Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamas militants abducted around 250 individuals during their October attack which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths\u2014mostly civilians\u2014in Israel; retaliatory strikes by Israel have reportedly killed over 40,000 Palestinians according to local health officials who do not specify how many were combatants. The conflict has displaced about 90% of Gaza\u2019s population (2.3 million) from their homes while causing extensive destruction throughout the region.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday alone, Israeli airstrikes continued across Gaza with Palestinian officials reporting at least 18 fatalities including eight children due to these attacks. Current estimates suggest there are still about 108 hostages held in Gaza with more than 40 believed dead; most others were released during a week-long cease-fire last November in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2331856,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/31eae024e8864e1dbed685dd09332e53-2-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39397,39396,39435],"class_list":["post-2331855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-hostage-rescue","tag-israeli-military","tag-october-7-attack"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/31eae024e8864e1dbed685dd09332e53-2-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
