About this listen

In this special episode of The Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik explores the poignant return of Israeli hostage Ran Gvili, the last of the Israeli hostages to be brought back from Gaza. After 844 days of uncertainty and fear, his body was recovered in a complex operation by the IDF, ending a long and painful chapter for Israeli families. Laznik speaks with Major A, who was directly involved in the mission, and shares personal reflections on the emotional toll of the operation. Additionally, Ayelet Samerano, a mother whose son Yonatan was also held captive, offers insight into the long road to healing. This episode captures both the sorrow and the resilience that have defined this chapter in Israel’s history.
