Israeli forces rescued hostage Farhan al-Qadi from Hamas captivity in the southern Gaza Strip on August 27. Al-Qadi, who spent more than 10 months in captivity, was found inside a tunnel by commandos of the Israeli Navy’s Shayetet 13 unit and troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit. The operation was led by the Israel Defence Forces’ Southern Command, the Shin Bet security agency, and the IDF’s 162nd Division. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke to al-Qadi and assured him to bring back all hostages.
