The security establishment had some scathing criticism for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) on Wednesday after the IDF claimed that three ambulances that were transferred to the organization some two weeks ago were seized by Hamas.

According to the army, a short time after the ambulances arrived in Gaza via the Kerem Shalom border crossing, Hamas gunmen overpowered the drivers and took control of the vehicles. The IDF noted that UNRWA failed to report the incident.

A military source told Army Radio that the incident indicated a double standard toward Hamas, and UNRWA's discrimination concerning Israel.

"When Israel deviates a little from procedures in Gaza, there is a massive world outcry, but when UNRWA, as an organization, doesn't even declare that Hamas is causing great damage in Gaza, the world doesn't even open its mouth," he said.

2. I wonder what else isn't reported by UNRWA and other 'respected' agencies there

5. You know that the IDF is prone to lie about things when it comes to UNRWA, right?

Why do you and a few other posters swallow everything the IDF says so unquestioningly when they've been dishonest on more than one occassion in the past?

3. UNRWA Denies IDF Report Hamas Seized Ambulances

"The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has denied a report by the IDF that Hamas recently seized three ambulances two weeks ago that were donated to the organization, commandeering them and ejecting the drivers as soon as the entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing. The army said that UNRWA did not report the incident, the military source told IDF Army Radio.

"When Israel deviates a little from procedures in Gaza, there is a massive world outcry, but when UNRWA, as an organization, doesn't even declare that Hamas is causing great damage in Gaza, the world doesn't even open its mouth," he said.

Jerusalem-based UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told Israel National News on Thursday morning, "This story is completely untrue. With every flip and every flop and every drip and every drop of misinformation, the credibility of these unnamed sources is diminished to the point where it is astonishing that any journalist believes a syllable they say."
