Wasn't it 12 like a day or two ago?

I think that was the total number of accused, they didn't accuse all of them for going into Gaza. We haven't seen any evidence yet.

Looks like they're only showing it to Sky News which has to make up for its reporter getting a little too factual

I’d have said the same thing honestly. Good for her

At least someone is saying something to these fucking…I honestly can’t think of a term that adequately describes my discuss in the Israeli politicians who are acting like this while committing the Palestinian Holocaust.

That's my understanding.

In an ap article of the 29th they say:

DETAILED ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UNRWA WORKERS
The Israeli document, which has been shared with U.S. officials and was obtained by The Associated Press, lists 12 people, their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos. The findings detailed in the document could not be independently confirmed.
The document said intelligence gathered showed that at least 190 UNRWA workers were Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, without providing evidence.
It said of the 12 workers, nine were teachers and one a social worker. Seven of the employees were accused of crossing into Israel on Oct. 7. Of those, one was accused of taking part in a kidnapping, another of helping to take away a dead soldier and three others of participating in the attacks. (...)

The numbers mentioned in the posted article I first saw them on a wsg piece co-written by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel which has some ties with the IDF, to be more precise the IDF spokesperson unit. (Relevant link from twitter).

[edit: I tried looking for her linkedin profile for more details, which appears in the results as: Carrie Keller-Lynn - The Wall Street Journal | LinkedIn but I get Profile Not Found - An exact match for caroline-keller-lynn could not be found. for now at least.

Israeli Intelligence claims..... Pass

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Secret suspected allegations, that just happened to cause complicid nations to cut aid hours after the ICJ ruling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The report, which has been shared with foreign governments, alleges that six employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) infiltrated Israel.

Critics of Israel's actions say the number of staff allegedly involved is a tiny percentage of the agency's overall workforce, and the decision by governments to suspend funding in response to the claims is a cruel and disproportionate move.

It said in a statement: "We are shocked by the reckless decision to cut a lifeline for an entire population by some of the very countries that had called for aid in Gaza to be stepped up and for humanitarians to be protected while doing their job."

Israel has long claimed that Hamas fighters have used UNWRA facilities to hide and store weapons, including in schools and hospitals, and dug tunnels under the agency's buildings, sometimes with its knowledge.

Responding to the developments, UNRWA's commissioner general Phillippe Lazzarini said last week he had immediately terminated the contracts of the accused staff and ordered an investigation.

"UNRWA reiterates its condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the abhorrent attacks of 7 October and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages and their safe return to their families."
