The Israeli military has retrieved the remains of Master Sgt Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza, 843 days after he was killed in a Hamas-led attack on Israel. The retrieval was made possible by intelligence clarification and cooperation with Hamas mediators. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the operation as an 'extraordinary achievement' and promised to bring all hostages home. The retrieval paves the way for the next phase of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, which includes the reconstruction and demilitarization of Gaza, the deployment of an International Stabilization Force, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Israel announced that it has recovered the remains of the last hostage, Ran Gvili, from Gaza, allowing for the next phase of the ceasefire with Hamas to proceed. The recovery was made possible after a large-scale operation in a cemetery in northern Gaza. The ceasefire, brokered by the US, aims to wind down the war sparked by Hamas's terrorist attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. The agreement includes the exchange of hostages and the disarmament of Hamas. Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire, with dozens of Palestinians killed since its implementation. The next phase of the ceasefire plan involves creating an international stabilization force, forming a technocratic Palestinian government, and disarming Hamas.

The remains of Israeli Staff Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza, have been recovered and returned home after 842 days. Gvili was killed during fighting on Oct. 7, 2023, and his body was later abducted to Gaza. The recovery was made possible through an identification process conducted by Israel's National Institute of Forensic Medicine. Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed condolences to the family and stated that all hostages have now been returned from Gaza to Israel. The recovery of Gvili's remains was a key condition for Israel's agreement to a limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing under President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.
