ISRAELI forces yesterday rescued a hostage in Gaza who has been held for 362 days since last year's Hamas raid.
Qaid Farhan Alkadi was plucked to safety from a tunnel by special forces after being pinpointed by an intelligence operation.
The dad-of-11 looked gaunt but was smiling when reunited with his delighted family at a hospital.
One relative said: "We're so excited to hug him and tell him we're all here with him.
"I hope every hostage will come home so families can experience this happiness."
Bedouin Qaid was last night recovering from his ordeal at Be'er Shiva, in Israel's Negev Desert.
