A brother of rescued hostage Farhan al-Qadi tells Hebrew media outlets outside the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba that he is overjoyed.

“I can’t explain this feeling, it’s better even than the arrival of a new baby,” the brother says. “Thank God, we are thankful to everyone and we hope to see him soon healthy. We’re so happy, very happy to get this news.”

Video circulating on social media purports to show family members of al-Qadi, 52, running through the halls of the hospital to greet him.
