Israel Receives Coffin of Deceased Hostage; One Remains in Gaza

Israeli authorities have received a coffin believed to contain the remains of a hostage held in Gaza. Officials are working to confirm if the body is that of Ran Gvili or Sudthisak Rinthalak. Forensic teams will now conduct identification procedures. The process is expected to take several days. The return leaves only one confirmed deceased hostage, either Gvili or Rinthalak, still in the Gaza Strip. The recovery is part of ongoing, sensitive negotiations mediated by international parties. Israeli officials stated the return of all hostages, both living and deceased, remains a top priority. They did not provide further details on the circumstances of the recovery.
