The IDF found the remains of the last Israeli hostage from the October 7 invasion, St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili, on Monday at around 2:00 p.m. at al-Batesh cemetery in northern Gaza

With the recovery of Gvili’s remains, all hostages abducted to Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023 have now been returned to Israel. This marks the first time in more than a decade that no Israelis remain held captive in the Strip.

Gvili's parents, Itzik and Talik, express pain and gratitude as their son's body returns to Israel for burial, marking a bittersweet end to the 843-day ordeal of the hostages in Gaza

The military rushed to find Gvili's remains as the clock ticked down for Israel to reopen the Rafah Border Crossing.

Two terrorists approached reserve soldiers from the Alexandroni Brigade while they were conducting a search while attempting to locate the last hostage.
