Israeli forces have rescued Qaid Farhan Alkadi, a 52-year-old Bedouin man taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attacks. The complex operation took place in southern Gaza, and Alkadi is now in stable condition. This marks the eighth hostage rescue by Israeli forces amidst ongoing efforts to secure the release of over 100 remaining hostages. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of approximately 40,000 Palestinians and displaced 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents. Ceasefire talks in Cairo continue with little progress, while international efforts by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar aim to negotiate a lasting ceasefire.
