U.S. Representative Michael Waltz posted on X that all hostages held by Hamas - alive and deceased - are now back with their families, crediting President Donald Trump’s message to Hamas of “There will be hell to pay!”, in a statement shared between 7:46 p.m. and 8:16 p.m. UTC on January 26, 2026. Waltz included a quote in his post: "I never want to see it again!" This comes hours after Israel recovered the remains of slain policeman Master Sgt. Ran Gvili from Al-Batsh cemetery east of Gaza City's Al-Tuffah neighborhood earlier today, with Shin Bet confirming the intelligence from a captured Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative that identified Gvili as the last deceased hostage from the October 7, 2023 attacks. In a separate development during this 29-minute window, the IDF spokesman announced that the IDF recently attacked two terrorists from Hezbollah in the Nebatia region of southern Lebanon, according to the official IDF channel on X. Lebanese sources reported an urgent Israeli bombing in Kfar Ruman and a raid targeting the Ali Al-Taher area from the side of Kafrman in southern Lebanon, as stated in X posts by InfoSudLiban and راصد العدو.
