    The article outlines Israeli claims that Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants infiltrated United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) schools in Gaza, undermining the agency’s neutrality. The Israeli government shared internal Hamas records with *The New York Times*, alleging that 24 UNRWA employees across 24 different schools in Gaza were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad before the current conflict.

    The article outlines Israeli claims that Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants infiltrated United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) schools in Gaza, undermining the agency’s neutrality. The Israeli government shared internal Hamas records with *The New York Times*, alleging that 24 UNRWA employees across 24 different schools in Gaza were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad before the current conflict. These individuals, primarily school administrators, counselors, and teachers, reportedly held operational roles in Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, with some, like deputy principal Ahmad al-Khatib, listed as squad commanders responsible for weaponry and training. Israeli officials assert that Hamas strategically embedded operatives within UNRWA institutions to leverage the organization’s infrastructure for militant activities. UNRWA, which previously operated 288 Gaza schools across 200 buildings, is tasked with maintaining neutrality in conflict zones, including keeping militants from its facilities and payroll. Israeli authorities accuse the U.N. of downplaying Hamas’s presence, while the global organization defends its neutrality and condemns Israel’s efforts to discredit its role. One document cited describes al-Khatib, a UNRWA employee since 2013, as an infantry squad commander equipped with weapons such as Kalashnikovs and hand grenades, with his duties overseen by Hamas’s military apparatus. The records indicate that Hamas rigorously monitored these operatives, tracking their fitness, loyalty, and weapon assignments. The Israeli military previously conducted an escorted tour in February 2024, showcasing a tunnel beneath a UNRWA school allegedly constructed by Hamas, further supporting their accusations. The article notes that UNRWA’s Gaza schools have been closed since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and the subsequent war. The revelations raise questions about the agency’s vetting processes and its ability to uphold neutrality amid overlapping militant infiltration. Both parties—Israel and the U.N.—contest responsibility, with the former emphasizing institutional complicity and the latter attributing the claims to an attempt to undermine humanitarian efforts.
