The Oct. 7 intelligence reports seen by the Journal identified an Unrwa Arabic teacher who the reports said was also a Hamas militant commander and took part in a terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be’eri, where 97 people were killed and about 26 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages to Gaza.

Another Unrwa employee, described in the dossier as an Unrwa social worker, played a role in absconding with the body of a dead Israeli soldier, which was taken to Gaza, the reports said. He also coordinated trucks and munitions distributions for Hamas before being killed.

A person familiar with the dossier said that after U.S. officials were briefed on the intelligence material, they alerted Unrwa, which put out a statement announcing the allegation that some of its employees were linked to the attacks and saying it had fired the employees involved. It provided no details, and didn’t say how many employees were involved.

A math teacher belonging to Hamas was close enough to a female hostage in Gaza that he took a picture of her. Another teacher was carrying an antitank missile the night before the invasion.

A different elementary school teacher did cross into Israel and went to Reim, a district where a kibbutz, an army base and a music festival were attacked.

    UNRWA has been doing forever.

    I agree that UNRWA served it’s mission to help refugees very well.

    However, its employees were involved in terror activities, hence the donations (i.e. the employees salaries) were corrupted. Potentiality, more unknown budget could have be involved in terror activities.

    UNRWA clearly turned blind eye to terror activities among it’s employees because even after October 7th (12th October Archive) they didn’t address the terror involvement of it’s employees.

    But now, they do address it: https://www.unrwa.org

      Netanyahu funded Hamas, so are you going to pile on that too?

      No one turned a blind eye on nothing. IF accusations will be PROVEN true, rather than israeli bullshit as most of the times will still mean nothing.
      Every government has corrupted officials, this usually does not cause the collapse of the state.
      This all noise exists to distract from the acuusations of genocide and to stop one of the modt important organizations working to help the victims - which in itself would accelerate the genocide.

      Israel is the problem here, the one committing a genocide only comparable to the one perpetrated by the Nazists. Full stop.
