Israel announced on Tuesday, August 27, that its army had freed a hostage held in Gaza since October 7. Kaid Farhan Alkadi is a Bedouin who worked in a kibbutz as a security guard. The operation to get him was complex.
A shy smile during his first minute of freedom after more than ten months in the hands of Hamas. Kaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, was freed on the morning of August 27 in southern Gaza. An operation on which the Israeli army gives few details. We know that he was found in a tunnel, following precise information, according to Tsahal. The operation took place in the same tunnel where six other hostages were found dead a week ago.
The man is a Bedouin Muslim, kidnapped on October 7 from a kibbutz where he worked as a security guard. At the hospital, he was reunited with his relatives. It is a small victory for Israel, and for Benjamin Netanyahu, who called him. “I thank you for everything you have done, you have done a hell of a job, but there are still hostages”the former hostage told him. According to the Israeli army, 108 hostages are still in the hands of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
