The Israeli military says it has discovered tunnels underneath the main headquarters of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City, alleging that Hamas militants used the space as an electrical supply room.
The unveiling of the tunnels marked the latest chapter in Israel’s campaign against the embattled agency, which it accuses of collaborating with Hamas.
Recent Israeli allegations that a dozen staff members participated in the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7 plunged the agency into a financial crisis, prompting major donor states to suspend their funding as well as twin investigations. The agency says that Israel has also frozen its bank account, embargoed aid shipments and canceled its tax benefits.
The army invited journalists to view the tunnel on Thursday.
Sure agreed if they didn’t know, but it seems like there was at least a Hamas cell inside the UNRWA that did:
My paint remains though - the wires might be linked from the building to the tunnel, but it’s a jump to say the UNRWA is complicit instead of a victim
Well to use your analogy here, let’s say a weed grow operation steals your electricity by plugging extension cords into several outlets and running them through open windows. Further let’s say this goes on for years with you living in the house. At a certain point it strains credulity to believe that you aren’t in on it.
Something similar seems to have happened here. It doesn’t implicate the UNRWA as a whole, but it certainly raises questions about the employees at this location.
