Middle East conflict: IDF says Hamas commander, who also worked for UNRWA, killed during operation
The Israel Defense Forces on Thursday said Hamas commander Mohammad Abu Itiwi,who also worked for the U.N. aid agency in the Gaza Strip, has been killed.
The UNRWA has not commented on the issue yet.
Sharing details about Itiwi, IDF posted on X: "During the Oct. 7 Massacre, Mohammad Abu Itiwi was involved in the murder and abduction of Israeli civilians and led the murderous attack on the bomb shelter on Route 232 in the area of Re'im in southern Israel. Most of the victims of his attack during the massacre were partygoers from the Nova music festival."
IDF said Abu Itiwi was a Nukhba Commander in the Al Bureij Battalion of Hamas' Central Camps Brigade.
"This terrorist was eliminated yesterday in a joint IDF and ISA operation," IDF said.
Since the deadly Hamas-led invasion of Israel a year ago triggered the ongoing war, almost 48,000 people in Gaza have been killed during the resulting Israeli offensive, including 230 UNRWA staff members, other humanitarian workers and journalists.
Six UNRWA staff members were among 34 people killed in September when two Israeli airstrikes hit a school-turned-shelter in Gaza.
