We cannot go into many details of this special operation but I can share that Israeli commandos rescued Qaid Farhan Alkadi from an underground tunnel, following accurate intelligence.
His medical condition is stable and he will undergo examinations in hospital.
His family had been waiting 326 days to receive the news they did today.
But there are still 108 hostages, whose families are still waiting to hear news that their loved ones are home.
And they should know that we will not rest until we fulfill our mission to bring all our hostages back home.
We will pursue the return of our hostages through all means possible I repeat through all means possible.”
