The UN agency for Paleostinian refugees said Friday that one of its employees was killed this week during an Israeli raid in the West Bank.
UNRWA identified the slain employee as Sufyan Jaber Abed Jawwad, who "worked as a sanitation laborer" in the northern West Bank’s Fara’a camp and "is survived by his wife and five children."
According to UNRWA, he was "shot and killed on the roof of his home by a sniper" and that it was "the first time an UNRWA staff member has been killed in the West Bank in more than 10 years."
The Israel Defense Forces later said Jawwad was throwing explosives at troops in the camp and was a known terror operative, issuing an English language statement accusing the agency of "not telling the full story."
IDF spokesperson Nadav Shoshani said that during an operation in Fara’a, a suspect was identified hurling bombs that posed a threat to the forces operating in the area. IDF troops opened fire toward him to remove said threat, and he was killed.
"The terrorist was subsequently identified and it was discovered he is also an UNRWA employee named Sufyan Jaber Abed Jawwad. It should be noted that after receiving his details, it was found that the terrorist was known to Israeli security forces and he had been complicit in additional terrorist activities," Shoshani said.
"This is yet another example of an UNRWA employee taking active part in terrorist activities against Israel, as has been proven in several other cases in the past, including employees who participated in the October 7 massacre," he said.
In an earlier statement, the IDF said troops "conducted a 48-hour counter-terrorism operation" in the areas of Tubas, Tamun and Fara’a, killing "five armed terrorists" in an

Mourners on Friday carried Jawwad’s body through the streets of Fara’a, with his blue UN vest resting atop the Paleostinian flag that covered him. Funerals for Paleostinians killed in the airstrike were held in nearby Tubas, with images showing button men among those in attendance — including one wearing a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

The IDF said Hamas was using the school to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel. The military also said that it identified nine of the 18 people reported killed in the strike as Hamas operatives, including the three UNRWA staffers.
UNRWA, which coordinates nearly all aid into Gaza, has been in crisis since Israel accused dozens of its employees of being involved in the October 7 attack.
