Israel Says Islamic Jihad Knows Where Last Slain Hostage Is
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Israel has delivered new intelligence to Gaza ceasefire mediators in Cairo in an effort to locate and recover the remains of Sgt. First Class Ran Gvili, a police officer abducted by Palestinian terrorists during the October 7 terrorist attack and the last of the slain Israelis who were taken to Gaza. Hostages and Missing Persons Coordinator Brig.-Gen. (res.) Gal Hirsch transferred aerial imagery, names of individuals believed to have knowledge of Gvili's whereabouts and other intelligence aimed at aiding his recovery. A senior Israeli official told Ynet: "There are people within Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) who know where Ran is. We sent a strong message to a senior mediator, and conveyed detailed intelligence during Gal Hirsch's meetings in Cairo last Thursday. We will not rest until Ran is brought back for burial in Israel." "This is not a tactical issue. It is central to the implementation of the agreement. PIJ's claim [that it has released all captives] is a lie, and we reject it outright. Hamas is responsible for the return of all fallen hostages, and we will not compromise on that."
