IDF reveals Hamas terrorists use UN vehicles, UNRWA compound as cover in Rafah - watch

The IDF revealed on Tuesday that during operational activity in eastern Rafah on Saturday, terrorists were identified in UNRWA’s central logistics compound alongside UN vehicles.

In the footage, several terrorists and gunfire can be seen near UN vehicles and in the area of UNRWA's logistics warehouse compound in eastern Rafah, which is a central point for the distribution of aid on UNRWA’s behalf in the Gaza Strip.

Following the event, representatives of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) conveyed the findings to senior officials in the international community and called on the UN to conduct an urgent investigation into the matter.

In addition, COGAT representatives warned the UN against the presence of terrorists in the area and the seriousness of the danger their presence brings to the logistics center compound concerning the continued protection of the organization's facilities.

And I would strongly suggest people go to the link - and review the video.

History will not be kind to Hamas.

If they had used all their creative ingenuity to improve the lives of the people they rule instead of controlling them, Gaza would be more like Luxembourg than Mariupol.

However, this reminds me of what I used to say when I was employed by a college: If it weren't for the students and the teachers, this would have been a nice place to work for.

Hamas is Hamas, and UNRWA is UNRWA, and if it weren't for them, Gaza would have been a nice place to live in. But they are in control of Gazan civilians, and they have priorities that overrule the welfare of the rest of Gaza.

To mangle the famous Chico Marx's quote: who am I supposed to believe, UNRWA or my lying eyes?
