AI Summary

short article 1 min

Israel launched a large-scale military operation in northern Gaza on Sunday to locate the remains of Ran Gvili, the last remaining hostage. The search is focused on a cemetery near the Yellow Line and the Shujaiyya-Daraj Tuffah area, involving specialized search teams, rabbis, and dental experts. This operation occurs as Israel's cabinet discusses opening the Rafah border crossing with Egypt and following meetings between US envoys and Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the next phase of a ceasefire. The return of Gvili's remains is considered a crucial step towards opening the Rafah crossing and transitioning to the ceasefire's second phase. Gvili's family has urged the government to prioritize the return of his remains before proceeding further.
