We have dealt with the file of captives and bodies with complete transparency, and we have fulfilled everything required of us based on the ceasefire agreement. We handed over all the living and the bodies we had as quickly as possible without any delay, despite the lack of commitment from the occupation and the dozens of violations and massacres it committed.

We are very keen to close this file completely and are not interested in procrastinating, in consideration of the interest of our people. We have worked under complex and almost impossible conditions to extract and hand over all the bodies of the enemy prisoners with the knowledge of the mediators, whom we call upon to fulfill their responsibilities and compel the occupation to implement what was agreed upon.

Regarding the body of the soldier Ran Gvili; we confirm that we have informed the mediators of all the details and information we have regarding the location of the captive's body. What confirms the truth of what we say is that the enemy is now searching in one of the locations based on information provided by Al-Qassam Brigades to the mediators.
