The four hostages whose remains are still being held by Gazan terror groups are Meny Godard, St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili, Dror Or, and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.
Hamas has information about each of the four deceased hostages whose remains are still being held in the Gaza Strip, sources familiar with the issue told Israel’s public broadcaster KAN News on Wednesday evening.
This includes information about the remains of hostages being held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the sources expanded.
Pressure must be exerted on Hamas terrorists to return the remains, and Israel should not compromise, the sources affirmed to KAN.

Palestinian sources claim one hostage’s remains currently held by Hamas, another by PIJ
Saudi-linked London-based outlet Asharq al-Awsat cited Palestinian sources claiming that the remains of one hostage is being held by PIJ, while another is being held by Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s so-called military wing.

The same sources told the outlet that the other two remains are believed to be in Israeli-controlled areas east of Gaza’s Yellow Line buffer zone.
They “could be found if search operations were intensified without Israeli restrictions,” the sources told Asharq al-Awsat.
The sources also claimed that “major difficulties have hampered the search” for the remains, and that the process to find them could take “considerable time.”
