IDF Soldiers Rescue Arab Muslim Israeli Hostage from Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released photographs Tuesday of its rescue of hostage Qaid Farhan al-Qadi, 52, from a Hamas tunnel in Gaza.
As Breitbart News reported:
Israel announced Tuesday that it had rescued a Bedouin Israeli Arab Muslim hostage, Qaid Farhan al-Qadi, 52, from a Hamas tunnel in Gaza in a special operation by Israel’s Shayetet 13, the Israeli equivalent of the U.S. Navy SEALs.
Hamas killed dozens of Israeli Arabs and Muslims, alienating these communities from the Palestinian cause.
“Each of our … remaining hostages are dear to us, no matter what their religion. That is what Israel is all about,” [Israeli government spokesman David] Mencer said. “Yes, we are of course a home for the Jewish people. But our Declaration [of Independence] … makes clear … [we are] always living in peace with the people that live here.”
