Qaid Farhan Al-Qadi

Qaid Farhan al-Qadi (; ; born 1972), an Israeli-Bedouin held hostage by Hamas since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, was rescued on August 27, 2024, after 326 days in captivity. Al-Qadi is from the Al-Kasum Regional Council, near the city of Rahat in the Negev. He was one of 251 people kidnapped from Israel, six of whom were Bedouin. The rescue operation was conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet in southern Gaza.

Al-Qadi is the eighth hostage to be rescued by Israeli forces since the conflict began.

Al-Qadi initially was held in an apartment where he witnessed and was filmed with a fellow captive's death. He formed a bond with Aryeh Zalmanovich, another Israeli hostage who was later killed. He also underwent painful surgery without proper anaesthesia. He was found abandoned, with only a little bit of bread to eat. The tunnel was found rigged with explosives, to ensure that he would not make it out alive, should he try to flee. Upon hearing Hebrew, Al-Qadi identified himself to the soldiers. The operation was part of Israel's broader military campaign in Gaza aimed at dismantling Hamas, following the October 7 attack that killed approximately 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and resulted in the kidnapping of 251 others.

Al-Qadi was the third and final of six Israeli Bedouins who were kidnapped to Gaza during Hamas' October 7 massacre to have returned from captivity alive. The other two, 17-year-old Aisha and 18-year-old Bilal al-Zayadna, were released in November 2023 during the 2023 Israeli–Palestinian prisoner exchange. The bodies of the latter's father, Yousef, and elder brother, Hamza, were recovered from a tunnel in January 2025; Al-Qadi eulogized Yousef, who had been his neighbour and childhood friend. The sixth Bedouin, Samer al-Talalka, had been shot dead by IDF troops after escaping his captors along with another two hostages in December 2023.
