    Yes the UNRWA armed Palestinian resistance faction.

    Thank you for explaining why it is pointless for Palestinians not to engage in armed resistance. Israeli will say they did so anyway.

      Nine of them were involved in the October 7th attacks, and there’s proof that more are still Hamas fighters, but I know that people aren’t interested in facts because they just want to bash Israel at every opportunity.

          UNRWA themselves admitted it in September. The head of Hamas in Lebanon was an UNRWA employee.

          Most of the money that goes to UNRWA ends up in the hands of Hamas.

            Allegations of 9 people in an organization of 12.000 being Hamas is one thing.

            Extrapolating that to all UNRWA funding going to Hamas is an amazing stretch of reality.

            By the way can you link the Hamas announcement of this person being Hamas? The AP article does not link it. It quotes the IDF claiming Hamas said it.
