UNRWA confirms that one of its staff members was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza, after Israel identified him as a Hamas Nukbha force commander. The IDF and Shin Bet stated that Muhammad Abu Attawi, who led the killing and kidnapping of Israelis in October 2021, had been employed by UNRWA since July 2022 while serving as a Nukbha commander in Hamas's Bureij Battalion. UNRWA received a letter from Israel in July including a list of 100 staff members allegedly affiliated with terror groups, but took no action due to lack of response from Israel. Israel has accused UNRWA of employing members of Hamas and other terror groups, and several donor countries cut aid to the agency after evidence of employee involvement in the October 7 attack.
