The remains of Abu Jihad, the former deputy to Yasser Arafat head of the armed wing of Fatah who was assassinated by Israel in 1988, will not be transferred to Palestinian Authority territory for burial. Head of the Coordination for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai made the decision final on Tuesday.

 

The Palestinian Authority made the request to transfer the remains after the cemetery in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus – where Abu Jihad is buried – was destroyed by ISIS.
