Remains of Last Israeli Hostage in Gaza Found; Tensions Rise Between US and Iran; Wildfires Rage in Argentina
The remains of the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza were recovered, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Monday. Meanwhile, tensions escalated between the United States and Iran after the unveiling of a threatening mural in Tehran, and wildfires continued to devastate Argentina's Patagonia region.
The IDF confirmed the body of police officer Ran Gvili, 24, was retrieved and identified by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, in cooperation with the Israeli police and the military rabbinate, according to Sky News. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the recovery as "an incredible achievement," stating, "I promised we would bring everyone home and we have brought everyone home." Gvili was a sergeant first class in the Israeli police special.
In Tehran, a new mural was unveiled in Enghelab Square featuring damaged planes on an aircraft carrier. The mural included the slogan, "If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind," in both Farsi and English, Sky News reported. This display followed a statement from a senior Iranian official who warned that any attack would be treated "as an all-out war against us" ahead of the arrival of a US aircraft carrier, according to Sky News. The mural was interpreted as a direct warning to the U.S. against launching a military strike on Iran.
In Argentina, wildfires continued to burn across Patagonia, with more than 30,000 hectares of forest already destroyed since December, Euronews reported. Approximately 500 firefighters have been deployed to Chubut province to combat the renewed flare-ups. Another 170 firefighters are working near the Chilean border in Puerto Patriada, where fires that began in early January have scorched over 22,000 hectares. Investigators have confirmed the presence of flammable gases at the ignition point of the blaze, according to Euronews.
