Hattip Grom in comments yesterday.
[Jpost] Three of the nine terrorists listed had been employed as UNRWA staff as they planned and participated in attacks against Israel.

A day after UNRWA said that its staffers were killed in a strike on the Al Jaouni School in the area of Nuseirat in central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the IDF revealed on Thursday that nine turbans had been eliminated in the strike.

After UN Secretary-General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
condemned the deaths of six UNRWA workers on Wednesday, the IDF said that it requested the details of the staff so that it could investigate - a request the military claimed remains unfulfilled.

Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
's media office said the Israeli strike killed at least 18 people, including the UNRWA staff members.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told Rooters on Wednesday that a lack of accountability for the killing of United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
staff and humanitarian aid workers in Gaza was "totally unacceptable."

THE TERRORISTS ELIMINATED IN THE STRIKE
Muhammad Adnan Abu Zayd, a UNRWA employee and one of the nine turbans listed, launched mortars at Israel as part of his role in Hamas's Military Wing, the military said.

Yasser Ibrahim Abu Sharar, another of the eliminated turbans and an employee of UNRWA, reportedly acted as both a member of Hamas's military wing, the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, and as an operative in Hamas's emergency bureau in Nuseirat.

The military also said that Ayad Matar was both a UNRWA employee and a terrorist in Hamas's military wing.

The other turbans named by the IDF were Aysar Karadia, a member of the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, and Bassem Majed Shaheen, who took part in Hamas's October 7 attack and was also a member of the group's military wing.

Also named were Amar al-Jadili and Akram Saber al-Ghalaydi, both members of Hamas's military wing and operatives in the group's Internal Security Forces.

Muhammad Issa Abu al-Amir, involved in the October 7 attack, was also part of Hamas's military wing. Finally, the IDF identified Sharif Salam as a member of Hamas's military wing.

HAMAS'S USE OF CIVILIAN AND UNRWA INFRASTRUCTURE
Since and before October 7, Hamas has been recorded using civilian structures for their terrorist activities. Airstrikes have frequently eliminated Hamas turbans and headquarters embedded within schools, where Gazook sources reported that a number of displaced Paleostinian civilians were taking shelter.

In July, IDF troops identified Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
war rooms in UNRWA headquarters. Explosives, drones, and weapons were reportedly found on the premises.

During a search of a UNRWA school in May, IDF personnel found an extensive collection of terrorist weaponry.

Additionally, a total of 17 turbans were eliminated in a strike on a UNRWA school in June.

Controversies surrounding the UN agency have led to a number of countries pausing or ceasing to fund UNRWA. Most of the pause in funding came after UN Watch alleged that several UNRWA workers had actively participated in Hamas's October 7 attacks.

In UN Watch's investigation, the NGO revealed that a 3000-member Telegram group for UNRWA staff praised the attacks on October 7.
