Military officials from the occupation acknowledged that the location of the body had been monitored among 4 possibilities for some time. On Monday, the occupation army revealed details of the military operation that led to the recovery of the body of the detainee "Ran Guili," who had been held by Hamas since October 7th.
The operation was carried out in the Shuja'iyya area north of the Gaza Strip in cooperation between the Southern Command and the "Yahalom" combat engineering unit. The statement claimed that the operation was based on intelligence gathered over two years, including interrogations of detainees from Gaza.
More than 20 dentists participated in the operation, examining approximately 250 bodies inside the cemetery within 24 hours using DNA samples and dental records to match identity.
For his part, US President Donald Trump told the "Axios" website that Hamas made "tremendous efforts" and coordinated with the occupation to help find the body of the last detainee.
Trump described the mission as "arduous and difficult," emphasizing that Hamas elements "were working with the occupation forces" to search for the body among hundreds of bodies in the area.
Trump stressed that this cooperation must be followed by practical steps, saying: "Hamas helped find the body of the last detainee, and now they must disarm as they promised."
Military officials from the occupation acknowledged that the location of the body had been monitored among 4 possibilities for some time, but the political leadership preferred to wait to give negotiations a chance before deciding on a field raid.
