Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades claims Israel is currently searching for the body of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last remaining hostage held in Gaza, based on information Hamas says it provided to mediators.
The IDF confirmed it is searching for the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, saying the effort began over the weekend after intelligence indicated his body may be buried in a Muslim cemetery in eastern Gaza City, near the Shejaiya, Daraj, and Tuffah neighborhoods.
According to Hamas, it passed "all the details and information" it has regarding the location of Gvili's body to mediators, adding that Israel is searching one of the sites mentioned. The army says the intelligence pointing to the cemetery is considered likely, but notes that additional leads are also being examined as troops and forensic experts work in the area to locate and identify the remains and return them to Israel for burial.
