The United Nations organization for refugee assistance in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has fired several staffers over claims they took part in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, the agency said Friday.

“The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7,” Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General, said in a statement.
