Ran Gvili’s body–the last hostage–has been returned as of Day 843, aka the 26th of January 2026. As such, Hostages Square in Tel Aviv held a closing ceremony, and the big digital clock went dark at 843 days, 12 hours, 6 minutes.

Let’s continue to pray for all the families of the hostages and their recovery, as well as for the surviving hostages.
The timing is very interesing indeed.
IDF Commander states that Hamas obstructed, rather than assisted, the recovery of the body, found in part thanks to intel from an Islamic Jihad fighter during interrogation in Israel.¹
