Following our last update on the identification of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the IDF says forensic experts confirmed his identity during searches at a Muslim cemetery in eastern Gaza City, where the military exhumed hundreds of bodies in recent days as part of efforts to locate him.
According to the IDF, around 250 bodies were examined. The match was first indicated through dental analysis carried out by dentists deployed to the site, and was later verified through fingerprints and additional forensic testing.
Gvili's body is now being returned to Israel for burial. The IDF says all other remains that were removed will be reburied, and the cemetery will be cleaned and restored out of respect for the dead.
