The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-SE), an Israeli non-profit organization, published a report this week detailing that up to 100 Hamas terrorists, including the Dee family killers, earned degrees from schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians in the Near East (UNRWA), an organization accused by IMPACT-SE of offering antisemitic programs in Gaza.
According to IMPACT-SE, there are more than 500,000 students in schools in the Gaza Strip, and more than half attend schools run by UNRWA. According to their investigation, 100 of the terrorists graduated from institutions managed by the UN agency and, in particular, two of them were involved in one of the most brutal massacres on Oct. 7.
“Hassan Suleiman Qatnani and Moaz Saad Al-Masry, originally from the Askar Refugee Camp outside of Nablus, are listed as members of the Hamas military wing on its website, and are both described as having attended UNRWA schools. The website lists at least one hundred members of the Hamas military wing as UNRWA graduates,” the IMPACT-SE report reads.
“Qatnani and Al-Masry opened fire at the car carrying Lucy Dee and two of her daughters, Maia and Rina, at close range, firing a total of 22 bullets from a Kalashnikov rifle. Maia and Rina were instantly killed, and Lucy died of her injuries three days after the attack,” adds the non-profit organization.
In addition, Qatnani's father was a UNRWA employee and is the brother-in-law of Qatar-based Political Bureau member and Hamas spokesman Hossam Badran, freed in 2011 in the deal to rescue Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured by Palestinian terrorists in 2006.
Hamas claimed responsibility for the murder of the Dee family, stating that the two perpetrators were members of the terrorist organization and had joined "at a young age."
The IMPACT-SE report raises great concern, especially since the organization has previously condemned the UNRWA for promoting hatred of Israel in its programs.
The UNRWA was also at the center of controversy during the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel. On Oct. 16, the UN agency deleted several posts on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that groups of people in trucks claiming to be from the Palestinian Health Ministry stole fuel and medical equipment from a UNRWA compound in Gaza.

It is presumed that, under pressure from Hamas, UNRWA deleted the posts and later clarified that there was supposedly no looting.
