Hamas Leader Killed in Lebanon Was on UNRWA Payroll

(JNS) The Hamas leader killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on Monday, Sept. 30 was an employee of UNRWA, the terror-linked United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

The NGO U.N. Watch earlier this year highlighted Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin’s involvement with UNRWA, including his role as the principal of the UNRWA-run Deir Yassin Secondary School in El-Buss and head of the UNRWA teachers’ union in Lebanon.

“Fateh Sharif was just eliminated by Israel. He was the coordinator of Hamas activities in Lebanon. He was also a decorated @UNRWA manager. What else needs to happen for the world to see that this organization is nothing but a front and money launderer for terror organizations,” wrote the former international spokesperson for the IDF, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus on X.

According to UNRWA, Abu el-Amin was suspended without pay in March for three months for violating regulations and was investigated over his political activities.

In a presentation to the Dutch parliament in The Hague in June, U.N. Watch criticized UNRWA for not firing Abu el-Amin. The NGO noted that Abu el-Amin openly praised Hamas terrorism, including the Oct. 7 massacre.
