Israeli Defense Forces units are heading to the site of the 'Brave Heart' operation in eastern Gaza City to locate the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili over the past hour on January 25, 2026, according to Israeli journalist Amit Segal. The operation aims to recover the remains of Gvili, the last remaining Israeli hostage, from a Muslim cemetery near the Shejaiya, Daraj, and Tuffah neighborhoods, as confirmed by the IDF earlier on January 25 based on intelligence including information from Hamas via mediators, per prior reports from @BittonRosen. This update follows IDF announcements earlier today detailing the 'Brave Heart' search, amid reports of Hamas militias in Deir El Balah using body recovery machinery to demolish market stalls, according to @HowidyHamza.
