The Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, killed 1,200 people. At least nine employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) may have taken part in the attack.
This information was presented by UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq. Israel accused about 190 UNRWA workers of links to terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip. The difficult humanitarian situation in the region led to the suspension of funding for this organization, but some countries have resumed it.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched a terrorist attack on Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people and also attacked its territory, taking more than 240 hostages. In response, Israel launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip, which continues to this day. Netanyahu announced on July 1, 2024, that the fighting would continue until Hamas was destroyed and all other war goals were achieved.
This came to light on January 29, 2024, when Reuters reported on allegations against UNRWA workers by Israel. The Office of Internal Oversight Services concluded its investigation into the matter and concluded that nine employees may have been involved in attacks on Israel. In nine other cases, there was insufficient evidence of involvement, and in one case, there was no evidence at all.
