Israel's coordinator of government activities in the territories refused a request by the Palestinian Authority to transfer the remains of terrorist Abu-Jihad following the destruction of the cemetery in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria by Islamic State terrorists, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.
Abu-Jihad was the deputy of Chairman Yasser Arafat of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the first chairman of the PA. Abu-Jihad was killed in a 1988 raid by Israel on his home in Tunisia.
