Staff Sergeant Ran Gvili, 24, from Meitar.
Staff Sergeant Ran Gvili, who served in the Negev YASAM unit of the southern district police, was known for his quiet, humble manner of assisting many people, often doing so without seeking any recognition. More than anything, Ran was distinguished by his sincere concern for others. He had an unparalleled focus on genuinely listening to people, and he was always ready to lend a hand. Ran had a passion for motorcycles, enjoyed gatherings with friends, cherished moments with his sister and brother, and relished playing the guitar while sipping lemon arak.
On October 7, while on medical leave and awaiting surgery for a shoulder condition, Ran could have chosen to stay at home due to his health. Nonetheless, Ran was of the fabric of fighters, belonging to that unique breed of individuals who prioritize the welfare of others over their personal needs. Upon learning of the horrible attack by Hamas terrorists, which targeted innocent civilians with unprecedented violence, he immediately took up his personal weapon and went to fight. At 10:50 AM on that Saturday, Ran sent a last message to his friends, informing them he had been shot twice in the leg.
Ran was abducted after falling in combat at Kibbutz Alumim. Tragically, he was due to celebrate his 25th birthday on the following day, Sunday, October 8
Honor the memory of Ran
Ran was kidnapped by Hamas, and later his family was informed that he fell in battle.

あなたの勇敢さに打たれて、その名前を心に刻む異国人が遠く日本にもいます。あなたの記憶は、私たち日本人にとっても祝福となります。ありがとう。イスラエルの心を現す人生は永遠に輝きます。
Your courage has touched us, and foreigners far away in Japan have etched your name in their hearts. Your memory is a blessing to us Japanese as well. Thank you. A life that embodies the heart of Israel will shine forever.

Veletek érzek.
Minden gyermek/ testvér/ társ / rokon elvesztése pokoli fájdalom.
Az elsőszülöttem és a kishugom vesztettem el.
Emléke fiatoknak legyen áldott!

משפחה יקרה,
אנחנו איתכם בכל יום בשנה; אבל קשה במיוחד לשאת את הגעגוע והחוסר בחגים.
ציינו השבוע בכאב חג חנוכה שלישי מאז שרן איננו.
אנחנו נושאים את רן בלבנו ולא נפסיק את המאבק
להשיבו
שלכם תמיד,
משפחת לוין. הולנד

Dear Gvili Family,
I am writing to you a few days after the body of the last Thai worker has been returned to Israel. I cannot imagine the pain of having a loved one taken captive by Hamas, a pain that continues as you wait for Ran, now the last hostage held in Gaza, to return. I am writing to let you know that despite the excitement of the many that have returned, Ran, and your pain are not forgotten. I am thinking of you and Ran and praying for you all. Despite the many miles that separate us, there is an invisible string, called Am Yisroel, that connects us. We share in each other's joy and pain. I hope this letter reaches you. You are not forgotten.
Waiting with you,
Adina Esses

רן החטוף האחרון בשבי !
מאות חטופים שוחררו לפניו ואתה האחרון!
כולנו כמהים ומייחלים להשבתך לאדמת ישראל. למשפחתך ואוהביך כך שיוכלו להיפרד ממך ולתת לך כבוד אחרון.
קראנו על גבורתך ואומץֶ ליבך ונחישותך לצאת לקרב ולהגן על קיבוץֶעלומים.
אומץ לב ששילמת עליו בחייך. אין מחיר גדול מזה.
כולי תקווה שתשוב הביתה במהרה

Dear Family of Ran Gvili,
We have not forgotten you, your fate, and that of your loved ones. We are unhappy, that Ran is dead. You are forever in our hearts. Israel is not alone. You are not alone. There are also people in Germany who stand behind you and want to encourage you. There is a reason to look forward and keep going. It is a difficult, rocky road back to life, but I am sure it can be done. Whether you are surviving hostages or have lost loved ones, we wish you comfort in your grief. We pray for you.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Warm regards,
Stefan Fröhlich
