“The IDF confirms it is searching for the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last remaining hostage held in Gaza, on the Israeli side of the ceasefire line in the Strip’s north.
The search operation began over the weekend, based on intelligence information that his body was buried at a Muslim cemetery in eastern Gaza City, near the neighborhoods of Shejaiya, Daraj, and Tuffah.
Troops and forensic experts, including dentists, are operating in the area in an attempt to locate and identify Gvili’s remains and bring them back to Israel for burial, according to the army.
The intelligence on Gvili’s body possibly buried at the cemetery had been known to the IDF for a while, though recently the information was made clearer, both following IDF operations and information provided by Hamas to Israel via mediators.
While the IDF says it is credible that Gvili’s remains are located at the cemetery, there are other potential intelligence leads on where his body could be.
The operation could last several days at most, according to IDF estimates.
In a separate statement confirming the operation, the Prime Minister’s Office says that the search effort in northern Gaza for Gvili’s body will “continue as long as necessary.”

IDF troops began a targeted operation in the area of the Yellow Line in northern Gaza to retrieve the body of the last remaining hostage in Gaza, Sergeant First Class Ran Gvili.

Please refrain from spreading rumors and unsubstantiated reports, which may harm the Gvili family and the ongoing efforts to bring him home.

The IDF will continue to employ all necessary efforts until Sergeant First Class Ran Gvili is returned for burial in the State of Israel.

What Hamas did to the Bibas babies was pure evil. And the adults and children dancing next to their coffins before their tiny bodies were handed back. Unspeakable. Animals.

It was awful to watch.

Today we remember Kfir Bibas on what should have been his 3rd birthday, he and his older brother were murdered whilst being held as hostages in Gaza.
Kfir never saw his first birthday.

Many children were murdered on Oct 7th, I believe Kfir and Ariel were the only two killed whilst being held as hostages.

Rest In Peace Kfir

Remembering poor Kfir on what should have been his 3rd birthday. Truly heartbreaking.

I hope Yarden Bibas has good people surrounding him.

I have no idea how a person endures such pain.

I don't agree with moving to stage 2, until stage 1 is complete.

and until Ran is ' home ' stage 1 will not be complete.
