Lucy williamson sent this report from the soroka medical centre in southern israel. Surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. Farhan alkadi, a 52 year old bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. Crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. The start of his journey back home. At israel s soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. A wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him. Thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition. Translation: it is difficult to explain how it feels. It is better than having a newborn. We thank god and we thank everyone and hope to see him healthy. We re very happy, very happy. Israel s prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to be part of his release. We cannot go into many details of this special operation but i can sh

Military has gathered evidence on a remarkable number of puzzling aerial phenomenon most of which were definitely not Weather Balloons. Unexplained flying objects that buzzed over u. S. Military bases, missile sites, ships, submarines underwater seem to defy any known human technology. The pentagon has said next to nothing about any of this in public instead of co
