00:10Israeli Defense Forces claims it rescued 52-year-old Farhan Al-Qadi from a tunnel in the Gaza Strip.
00:17But various media reports he escaped from captivity while Hamas says it, quote, released
00:23him.
00:25Welcome home, Farhan Al-Qadi.
00:27I congratulate the IDF and the ISA on another successful liberation operation.
00:31We are working tirelessly to bring back all of our hostages.
00:36We are doing this in two main ways, in the delivery mission and in the liberation operation.
00:41Both ways, together, require our military presence on the ground and military pressure
00:47without ceasing on Hamas.
00:49We will continue to do so until we bring everyone home.
00:54The IDF claims it conducted a, quote, complex operation to free Al-Qadi, a member of Israel's
01:02Bedouin minority and a former security guard at a packing factory on a kibbutz.
