Since that fateful Simchat Torah morning of Oct. 7, 2023, we have been fervently praying for the safety of our dear brothers and sisters who have been taken captive in Gaza. On Shevat 8, 5786 (1/26/26), we learned that the remains of Ran Gvili – the last of the hostages – was returned home. May G‑d protect the residents of His holy land from all harm and grant a speedy recovery to all who have suffered so much!

May I offer a fervent prayer that we never have to endure the likes of this again 🇮🇱💔😥.
May the rest of the hostages return speedily and may there be peace of sorts in Eretz Israel 🇮🇱👌. May there be unity amongst our Christian and Jewish brethren. Amen.

On Bancha Dachtuyawat (บัญชา ดัชถุยาวัตร):
Thai websites lists him in a batch of bodies on (October 31st, 2023), of people killed on October 7th, none of which were hostages, nor does it list him as a hostage who was recovered.
His home village is Ban Wang Saen Suk, Wang Thong Subdistrict, Ban Dung District, Udon Thani Province.
