The Israeli military rescued a hostage in southern Gaza

The Israeli military said its forces rescued an Israeli hostage in southern Gaza after a "complex operation", AFP reported.

The rescued is 52-year-old Israeli Bedouin Kaid Alkadi, who was abducted by Hamas forces during the October 7 attack on Israel.

"Qaid Alkadi was rescued in a complex operation in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. He is in a stable condition and has been transferred to a hospital for medical examination," the military said.

Alkadi is a resident of Rahat, a city with a predominantly Arab population. On October 7, he was working as a security guard in a warehouse in southern Israel when he was captured by the militants. | BGNES
