The IDF found the remains of the last remaining Israeli hostage, St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili, in northern Gaza.
According to the IDF, a series of clandestine operations started over the weekend to get closer to the potential location of Gvili.
There were two to three locations where the IDF suspected Gvili was buried, but the recent intelligence gave indications that Gvili was buried in a Muslim cemetery in the Shejaiay Darah-Tuffah portion of northern Gaza on the Israeli side of the yellow line.
Gvili’s identity was confirmed by the National Forensics Institute, rabbinic advisors, the police, and the IDF.
Upon the positive confirmation, they immediately notified the Gvili family.
Gvili was murdered on October 7, and then his body was taken to Gaza.
His return marks the end of the saga of returning all live and deceased hostages taken by Hamas on October 7.
