Israel kidnaps PIJ terrorist in covert op. in Hamas-controlled Gaza in pursuit of Ran Gvili
The terrorist was reportedly taken from an area near Palestine Square in Gaza City. The IDF has declined to comment on the matter, according to Army Radio.
Israel kidnapped a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization during covert operations to locate the remains of slain hostage St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili in Hamas-controlled areas of the Gaza Strip, Saudi state-run outlet Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Sunday.
The terrorist was reportedly taken from an area near Palestine Square in Gaza City. The IDF has declined to comment on the matter, according to Army Radio.
The allegedly kidnapped terrorist was reportedly among those Israel identified to Cairo as being responsible for the October 7 abduction and subsequent holding of Gvili’s remains, according to the Saudi outlet.
Earlier this month, the PIJ claimed that it had handed over the final hostage in its possession.
Hamas and the PIJ "know where Gvili's remains are located, and have the ability to find them. The problem is they are not motivated to do so," a security source told Maariv earlier this month. "We believe they can put in more effort."
