Hostage freed from Hamas captivity by Israeli forces, IDF says

A 52-year-old Bedouin man, abducted by Hamas on October 7th, was rescued in a complex operation in the southern Gaza Strip. The operation involved the IDF and Shin Bet, but details remain scarce for security reasons. The man, a father of eleven, was working as a security guard when taken. He spent over 300 days in captivity and has now been reunited with his family. Statements from the IDF Chief of Staff and the Missing Families Forum highlight the urgency of rescuing the remaining 104 hostages, 34 of whom are declared dead. Negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release continue in Cairo, with optimism mainly from the United States.
