(Fox) A rescued Israeli hostage is filing a lawsuit Tuesday against a U.S. nonprofit with financial ties to the Hamas operative who reportedly kept him prisoner.

Almog Meir Jan, 22, was held captive by Hamas for nearly 250 days after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in southern Israel and was found in the home of Abdallah Aljamal, a contributor to the Palestine Chronicle website who also worked as a spokesperson for the Hamas-run labor ministry in Gaza. Aljamal was killed during the IDF’s rescue mission.

The Palestine Chronicle is run by the tax-exempt group called People Media Project.

Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, were also held captive at his family’s home in Nuseirat, Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
