In a shocking turn of events, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has confirmed that the Hamas leader killed by Israel in Lebanon was actually a UN employee.
According to reports, the Israeli military launched an airstrike in the Lebanese border town of Qasimiya, targeting a senior Hamas official, who was identified as Moussa Abu Marzouk. However, the UNWRA has now revealed that the individual was actually a UN employee who was working in the agency’s education department.
Details of the Incident
The incident occurred early on Friday morning, when Israeli warplanes launched a missile attack on a house in Qasimiya, killing two people and injuring several others. The Israeli military claimed that the target was a senior Hamas official, who was believed to be responsible for planning and coordinating terrorist attacks against Israel.
However, the UNWRA has now disputed this claim, stating that the individual who was killed was actually a UN employee who was working in the agency’s education department. The agency has released a statement confirming the employee’s identity and expressing shock and sadness at the loss of life.
Reaction from Israel and Hamas
The Israeli government has defended its actions, stating that the target was a legitimate military target and that the attack was carried out in accordance with international law. However, Hamas has condemned the attack, calling it a "heinous crime" and vowing to continue its resistance against Israeli aggression.
International Reaction
The international community has expressed concern and condemnation over the incident, with many countries calling for restraint and an end to violence in the region. The UN Secretary-General has also called for an investigation into the incident and has urged both sides to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation.

This sub won’t like that
If Israel says he’s Hamas, it must be true. They haven’t lied since… eh, yesterday?
There are 30k employees at UNWRA maybe they can do a better job at vetting who gets work cuz seriously how you let that slip through. Fuck.
What’s with all the World News like posts over here? Trying to turn this into World News 2.0 (aka only pro Israeli viewpoints allowed).
This is one where reading the article before commenting is probably warranted (not that it’s not always warranted).
>The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNWRA) said Fateh Al Sharif had been under investigation over his political activities and had been on “administrative leave” since March.
So was it like the Iranian ambassador with a hezbollah pager? That it’s a Hamas leader in a UN role
Ooops, I thought that all claims the UNWR has dirty fingers were false?
They killed his wife and kids as well. Israel really do not give 2 f#%k’s about preventing the cycle of terrorism. If they are supposed to be so advanced and so capable wtf are the not capable or ensuring they don’t keep killing children? If you say Oct 7th had children die you are agreeing with me, Israel is a terrorist organization just like Hamas.
Isn’t UNWRA largely a subsidiary of Hamas at this point?

This subreddit is so toxic and riddled with hamas-bots it’s wild.
It feels like Tik Tok comment second in here lmao.
If I want the Iranian, ccp, or putins takes…I just come to r.news lol
Hilarious.
Oh, UNWRA had suspended Al Sharif already and had a pending investigation… they hired him in the first place.
Terrorist and UN LinkedIn a Venn Diagram or is the recruiting pool that tight?
It’s wild how Reddit is extremely pro-Israel.
Sky news, the best you can do?
I wonder how many more terrorists work for the UN? Seems like pretty good cover.
So Americans that would dare to fight back against Canada for envaiding and stealing American land and murdering children because a man made book of fairytales said to do it would be called terrorists… Okay, buddy.
Yep, except the Israeli and the media’s definitions of “Hamas” does not reconcile with the Arabic definition of Hamas, not even close to the same thing.
So while the “UN employee“ may have also been the leader of a political party called Hamas, that wants to reinvent Muslim politics…
The media would have you believe that he was the leader of the people on the ground fighting a Jihad.
The disconnect is easy to explain in other terms that Americans can relate to…
If one of the assassination attempts on President Trump was successful, the Israeli media might say “Proud Boys Leader”, whereas they conflate Republican with an extremist subset of Republicans.
Sharif was killed along with his wife, son, and daughter, in a strike that targeted their house in a Palestinian refugee camp.
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that an entire family of children and women were killed for one guy?
“UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said he learned in March of allegations that Sharif had been a “member of the political party of Hamas” and decided to suspend him and launch an investigation “from day one.” Lazzarini said he hadn’t heard Sharif might be a Hamas “commander” until Monday.
“So he was suspended, had no function, was not paid and was under investigation,” Lazzarini told reporters in Geneva. “We are still an agency with due process — I mean, respecting due process and the principle of rule of law. So the investigation was ongoing.”
Lazzarini said he had received a letter from Israeli authorities listing the names of some 100 people allegedly linked to Hamas, and he took it “very seriously.” But he said Israeli authorities never responded to UNRWA requests for more information so that it might launch investigations into those cases.
“A list is not proof of anything,” he said.”
Funny how Israeli government consistently fails to provide proof of their accusations.
Damn they need to vet the UN better…
