Dramatic moment IDF rescues Israeli hostage

The Israeli Defense Forces released a dramatic video of the moment they rescued a father-of-11 from Hamas captivity on Tuesday morning — bringing the hostage back home after 326 days.

The footage shows Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, shaking hands with IDF Brig. Gen. Itzik Cohen as his troops arrived to save the dad from a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza.

Alkadi, a member of Israel’s Bedouin Arab community, could be seen grinning from ear to ear as he held Cohen’s hand and thanked the brigadier general and his men for coming to save him
