Farhan al-Qadi is being released from Soroka Hospital to go home, according to reports in Hebrew-language media, just one day after being found in a Gaza tunnel by Israeli troops.

Al-Qadi, who was kidnapped from a kibbutz near the Gaza border on October 7, was brought to Soroka Hospital yesterday for checkups after his rescue. The hospital initially reported that he appeared healthy, though relatives noted the 52-year-old had slimmed considerably while in captivity.
