In a scene that underscores the human depth of the conflict and the responsibility that Israel keeps toward each of its citizens, Arab media reported that Hamas and the International Committee of the Red Cross are conducting searches in the Gaza neighborhood of Zeitoun to locate the remains of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage still held by Palestinian terrorists.
The terrorist group had already begun searches in Gaza City on Sunday, as part of a broader agreement that allowed the return of living and deceased hostages and paved the way for the end of two years of war in the Strip.
Ran Gvili's story—and the reason why his name became a symbol of courage in Israel—dates back to the morning of October 7.
That day, when hundreds of young people were fleeing the terrorist attack at the Nova festival in Re'im, Gvili mobilized to rescue dozens of survivors, personally escorting them to safe areas while Hamas terrorists continued their assault.
