Hamas and PIJ “know where Gwili’s remains are and have the ability to find them. The problem is that they have no motivation to do this,” a security source told Maariv. “We think they can do more.”
“If Islamic Jihad really wants it, Ran Gwili will return home soon,” an Israeli source told N12.

Jerusalem is reported to be confident that this information will help to quickly find Gwili's remains once the weather caused by Storm Byron clears completely. However, Hamas representatives said that Israel had already killed the terrorists, knowing about Gwili's whereabouts, sources in the terrorist group A-Sharq Al-Awsat said.
Sources say his remains were most likely buried in one of three or four locations in the vicinity of A-Shujaiya or A-Zaytoun, east of Gaza City, where searches have already been carried out.
Hamas spokesman Khaled Meshal said in a Telegram post on Friday, complaining about delays in the second phase of the truce agreement with the US coming into force: “There is a double standard in the international community. They are waiting to see how many Israeli bodies remain, while ignoring the large number of Palestinian casualties and missing persons. Moreover, Israel is hiding the fate of the prisoners it is holding.”
Itzik Gwili, Gwili's father, said at a rally in Tel Aviv on Friday night: “This week's Torah portion is dedicated to Jacob, who refused to be consoled because Joseph was alive. I feel the same way. I am Jacob, and for me Ran is still alive. It is difficult for me to accept people saying, 'blessed remembrance'. For me, until I bring him back, he is alive. Even though they announced his death, I do not accept this.
“Just like Ran went to save people and went to save the country, today the country and people must save him, not give up and remember him. We, the Gwili family, embrace each of you.”
