Israeli Forces Kill Hamas Commander and UN Aid Worker in Gaza

Mohammad Abu Itiwi, linked to the October 7 attacks on Israel, was targeted amid calls for a UN investigation into employee ties to Hamas.

Mohammad Abu Itiwi, a Hamas commander involved in the October 7 attacks, was killed by Israeli forces during a military operation in Gaza.
Itiwi was also employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) since 2022.
Israel had previously informed UNRWA of Itiwi's ties to Hamas, listing him among 100 staff members suspected of paramilitary affiliations.
UNRWA acknowledged receiving Israel's letter but stated they had not received further information requested for action.
Israel is demanding a full investigation by the UN into potential involvement of UNRWA employees in the October 7 attacks.
