The coffin of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza, was escorted home by a convoy of fellow fighters and mourners, marking the end of his 843-day captivity. Gvili's father spoke movingly about his son's ability to unite people, recalling his compassion and leadership both in service and in life. Crowds gathered at Nahal Oz to pay their respects as the convoy made its way to the forensic institute, where Gvili's identity was confirmed by police volunteers. Gvili will be laid to rest in his hometown of Meitar, with his story resonating across Israel and drawing comments from international leaders.
