Israel has rejected a claim by Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
that it has returned all the hostages it was holding, with an official reportedly saying the terror group knows the location of the remains of Ran Gvili, the last deceased captive held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

On Tuesday, Islamic Jihad, which held a number of the hostages who were kidnapped in the Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...-led October 7, 2023, onslaught, said in a statement that it was no longer holding any captives. But Israeli officials shot back, according to Hebrew media, claiming that the terror group has information relating to the location of Gvili’s body. And Gal Hirsch, the government’s point man for hostages, has reportedly shared new intelligence that could point to where the remains are.
Channel 12 reported that Israeli officials said the PIJ statement drove them "out of their minds."
"We view Islamic Jihad’s statement severely and don’t accept it in any respect," the network quoted Hisch telling the countries mediating the ceasefire in Gaza. "Someone in Islamic Jihad knows where Ran is held."
The return of the remains of Gvili, a police master sergeant who was killed on October 7 and whose body was taken to the Strip, is key to the ceasefire advancing to its planned second phase, which is meant to see Gaza move to longer-term security and governance frameworks.
Under the terms of the ceasefire that took effect two months ago, Hamas is meant to return all hostages. Israel says the terror group can do more to locate Gvili’s remains and, according to the Ynet new site, Hirsch has shared aerial photographs meant to help in the search as well as names of officials who may know where the body is.
“We won’t give up until he is returned for a Jewish burial,” Channel 12 quoted Hirsch as saying about Gvili. “Rani’s return isn’t a tactical matter; it is a matter with broad significance in terms of implementing and advancing the agreement.” Ynet reported similar quotes, attributed to an anonymous Israeli official.
