The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), under whose jurisdiction the school was, reported the death of six of its employees as a result of the attack but refused to provide their names to Israel. At the same time, as reported by NEWSru.co.il, the IDF published a list of nine eliminated terrorists and established that at least three of them were simultaneously employees of UNRWA.

Despite numerous pieces of evidence, the UN and UNRWA leadership continue to deny the agency’s cooperation with HAMAS and the involvement of its employees in the attacks on October 7 and the killings of Israelis. During searches in UNRWA offices in Gaza, weapons and documents confirming the agency’s ties with HAMAS were found. Israel presented letters sent by HAMAS’s military wing to the Gaza Ministry of Education, demanding the release of UNRWA teachers for participation in military training. A terrorist tunnel was discovered under the UNRWA headquarters and near one of the agency’s schools, where weapons, equipment, and a data center with HAMAS servers were stored. The equipment was connected to the UNRWA building’s power grids. However, the agency continues to claim it knew nothing about this—a statement that seems highly dubious, considering the tunnel was built and equipped long before the events of October 7, right under the noses of UN representatives.
