IDF Commander: "We Saw Ran Gvili in Police Uniform"
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Major D., a commander in the Yahalom unit of the Combat Engineering Corps who participated in the operation to retrieve the body of hostage Ran Gvili, told Ynet: "We cleared the area from explosive devices and the many bodies. It reminded me of the multitude of bodies from October 7." "The bodies were buried in shrouds according to Muslim burial traditions. There was tremendous emotion at the moment of identification and leading up to it, some fighters were moved to tears and embraced each other. We saw Ran with the police uniform, and that helped initially confirm his identity." "We emphasized respecting the dead and returned all bodies for burial in their places. This is one of the differences between us and our enemies."
