The Israeli military has disclosed new details about a covert operation in Gaza City that led to the recovery of Staff Sgt. Oron Shaul's body, which had been held by Hamas since the 2014 Gaza War. The breakthrough came after elite forces apprehended a key individual living at a civilian site, who then provided crucial information during interrogation. Special units, including Sayeret Matkal and Shayetet 13, conducted a raid on the site and successfully retrieved Shaul's remains. The operation was executed with careful planning to ensure the safety of other hostages in the area.
