The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage purportedly showing Hamas militants inside and operating from UNRWA facilities in Rafah, Gaza. The video allegedly shows armed men inside UNRWA headquarters and a tunnel shaft beneath the facility. According to the IDF, the footage provides evidence of Hamas using UNRWA buildings for terror activities, specifically using UNRWA facilities to conduct attacks and store weapons.
The IDF stated that it conducted targeted raids in the area and discovered the tunnel, which they say was used by Hamas for military purposes. They claim the tunnel ran under UNRWA’s main headquarters in Gaza. The IDF asserts this is further proof that Hamas exploits civilian infrastructure and international aid organizations for its operations.
The UNRWA has not yet verified the IDF’s claims but has stated it will investigate. They maintain a neutral stance and reiterate their commitment to providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people. The accusations come amidst ongoing scrutiny of UNRWA, particularly regarding its alleged ties to Hamas.
