What good health? The guy is skin and bones! He also aged about 15 years!!!

[ykleinman]

Absolutely shameful reporting. A hostage is rescued and you spend time speculating on how many kidnappers MAY have been harmed!?

[Pino]

Here comes how amazing he was treated. Great health. Came out as a better person etc etc. What a joke this is.

All of Israeli is cheering this man's rescue. He is a Bedouin Muslim taken from his jobsite. Hamas didn't care who they took.
So much for Israel hating all Muslims. Hamas didn't care who they took. CBN has reported Palestinians living in the area gave info there are more hostages still alive. CBN also showed pics of this man before he was taken and he's very thin now compared to before. Praise God for this man's return. May God bring them all home.

What this network did not say is that Farman is a Muslim. You hearted it right: Israeli soldiers risked their lives to rescue an Israeli Muslim from Hamas terrorists. No one should doubt that Israel is not Islamophobic and does not discriminate against muslims.

Horrible report. Not a kind word for the Hostage or his family. And Even after the IDF Offered vegetarian and gluten free options For all the terrorists on this operation.

Please tell me that this dude didn't talk about how many terrorists were harmed during the rescue of a hostage? Are you freaking kidding me 😳😳

[mattt]

My deepest condolences to Omar and Talib. I thought we weren’t allowed to talk about the hostages. YouTube bans me every time I ask about them.

[MrMAXZ]

Al Juzzira will completely ignore this rescue. Would be difficult for them to explain to their audience why IDF went into the tunnels to retrieve an Israeli Beduin ARAB.

[MrPickledede]

No deal that comprimises Israel's security. I feel terrible for the hostages and their families however they seem to put the onus entirely on Israel and are demanding the government accept a complete surrender to Hamas which the vast majority of Israelis will never accept

[Lawrence-is]

See how a real country Israel respects and never gives up on their loved citizens. America, take notice of how it's done.

[melissacraig]

Wow, this coverage is despicable. If anyone wants to see something ACCURATE go watch the CBN coverage with Chuck Holton. I literally cried watching his family run through the hospital. I was curious how mainstream media would cover this. Now i know. 🤮

[jerrygoller]

Making a deal with terrorists for hostages will only encourage them to take more hostages. Read up on Hamas history.

[Catnyp]

Who cares how many terrorist died during the rescue!!
Happy he is back safe with his family!!
Now, get the infant hostage! FFS!

[davidcaunter]

No thanks to the Biden/Harris regime. 🙄

[mochithepooh]

Love how no one mentions how literally ALL of the hostages could be released immediately without risking accidentally merking them in the process if only Netanyahu agreed to ending the war.

[heyheytaytay]

Ah yes, I remember in the Talmud it says "He who saves one life saves the world entire ... even if it means killing tens of thousands of innocent women and children to do it"

[WinstonSmith]

Is it Pride Month in Gaza yet? How about in Ukraine?

[Dingleberry]

Democrats are gonna be so mad about this rescue.

[dianerenke]

Remarkably good health.... ???? Loss lots of weight... Who know what that did to his body...
