On December 3, 2025, Israel reported that the remains returned from Gaza do not match the two hostages still held by Hamas. This announcement follows the transfer of remains from Gaza, which were found in Beit Lahiya. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed that forensic testing indicated no link to the hostages. The two remaining hostages are Ran Gvili, who was killed during the October 7 attack, and Sudthisak Rinthalak, a Thai agricultural worker. Since the ceasefire began, Israel has received 20 living hostages and the remains of 26 others. The ceasefire agreement involves exchanges of hostages and remains, but both sides have accused each other of breaking terms. The situation remains complicated, with ongoing casualties reported in Gaza and challenges in identifying the returned remains.
