GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Israeli occupation army said on Monday that the remains of Ran Gvili, the last captive in the Gaza Strip, have been recovered from a site in Gaza City.
According to the Hebrew media, Gvili’s remains were found following an intensive search operation that involved the exhumation of dozens of Palestinian graves.
In a statement, the Israeli army claimed that the body was found during a combing operation east of Gaza City, which involved examining hundreds of sites and conducting technical identification procedures, including dental and DNA tests, before confirming Gvili’s identity.
Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old Yamam police officer, was killed during the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
After Israel’s announcement, the Hamas Movement emphasized that it had undertaken extensive efforts to locate the body of the last Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip, providing mediators with continuous updates that ultimately enabled its recovery.
In a statement, Hamas called on the Israeli occupation regime to fully and promptly implement the ceasefire agreement, particularly by opening the Rafah border crossing in both directions without restrictions and ensuring the entry of Gaza’s essential needs in the required quantities.
Hamas also called for a full Israeli military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and for facilitating the work of the national committee tasked with administering the Strip’s affairs, considering this an essential part of the agreement.
Hamas called on the countries that mediated and sponsored the ceasefire agreement to uphold their responsibilities and ensure the fulfillment of all commitments hindered by the Israeli regime, stressing that the recovery of the Israeli soldier’s body removes the pretext previously invoked by the Israeli regime to stall the agreement’s implementation.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, already said on Sunday that it had informed mediators of the location of the last Israeli body held in Gaza and that Israeli forces were searching an area based on the information it provided.
Spokesman for the Brigades, Abu Obeida, said that the Palestinian resistance shared all the available details with mediators regarding the body of Israeli soldier Ran Gvili.
