JERUSALEM (AP) — For more than two years, Israelis pinned yellow ribbons to their lapels and gathered to remember the hostages abducted during the deadliest day in the country’s history. But in a sign marking the end of a painful chapter, they removed their ribbons and turned off a clock Tuesday in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square tracking the duration of the hostages’ captivity. The return of Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old police officer killed while fighting Hamas militants during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, fulfilled nationwide hopes to return all hostages, living or dead.
