Hamas leader killed in Lebanon was UN employee, agency confirms
A U.N. human rights group confirmed Hamas’ leader in Lebanon recently killed by Israeli strikes was their employee.
"Sherif was responsible for coordinating Hamas' terror activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah operatives. He was also responsible for Hamas’ efforts in Lebanon to recruit operatives and acquire weapons," the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and Israeli Security Agency (ISA) said in a joint statement.
Sherif was the principal of the UNRWA-run Deir Yassin Secondary School in al-Bass and head of the UNRWA teachers’ union, which has around 2,000 teachers.
"Through that position, and as principal of a large UNRWA school, he was able to recruit operatives, and to brainwash generations of Palestinians to engage in terrorism," Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, told Fox News Digital.
