"Following the identification process conducted by the National Forensic Centre, in cooperation with the Israeli police and the military rabbinate, representatives of the (Israeli military) informed the family of hostage Ran Gvili … that their loved one had been formally identified and repatriated for burial," an army statement said.

"Thus, all the hostages held in the Gaza Strip have been repatriated," it added.
