Israel Details Claims Against UN Workers It Says Aided Hamas

(New York Times) Ronen Bergman - A dossier provided to the U.S. by Israel details claims against a dozen UNRWA employees who played a role in the Hamas attacks against Israel on Oct. 7 or in their aftermath. One is accused of kidnapping a woman. Another handed out ammunition. A third took part in the massacre at a kibbutz where 97 people died. Israeli intelligence officers had established the movements of six of the men inside Israel on Oct. 7 based on their phones. Others had been monitored while making phone calls inside Gaza during which they discussed their involvement in the Hamas attack. Three others got text messages ordering them to report to muster points on Oct. 7, and one was told to bring rocket-propelled grenades stored at his home. Israel described 10 of the employees as members of Hamas, and another was affiliated with Islamic Jihad. Seven were teachers at UNRWA schools. A school counselor from Khan Yunis worked with his son to abduct a woman from Israel. A social worker from Nuseirat helped to bring the body of a dead Israeli soldier to Gaza, as well as distributing ammunition and coordinating vehicles on the day of the attack.
