After issuing a communiqué promising that they would show the FBI that they could not be kept offline, US designated Terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad has finally unveiled their saraya.ps site, representing their operational/terrorist unit - the Saraya al-Quds Brigade. Despite the Palestinian domain name, it is operating on a server in the USA.
In fact, all but one of the sites of the PIJ that currently active online are on servers in the USA.

Note: we have previously used the term 'Datacenter', but have replaced that with 'Network access provider'. This is the company that at a bare minimum provides an IP address and access to the internet to the site in question. They may or may not operate the datacenter where the server is physically located.
