Israel says it found last hostage's body, vows to disarm Hamas

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the remains of the last known Israeli hostage held in Gaza have been recovered. He stated that Israel's priorities are now to disarm Hamas and demilitarize the Gaza Strip.

In response, a senior Hamas official said the group's weapons would remain as long as the Israeli occupation continues. Separately, Israeli police are investigating a suspected large-scale smuggling ring that brought goods from Israel into Gaza, a case that reportedly places the Shin Bet security service chief in a conflict of interest.
