The United Nations said it has fired additional staff from its main relief agency in Gaza, bringing the total to nine, after an internal investigation found they may have been involved in the deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.
The UN concluded that the nine employees, all of whom worked for the UN Relief and Works Agency, known as UNRWA, were likely to have participated in the attacks that triggered the Israel-Hamas war, according to the probe. That was far fewer staff than Israel claims have ties to the militant group.
