The Israeli military on Thursday named nine men it said were Hamas militants killed in Gaza airstrikes that the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA said had left six of its staffers dead. The military said three of the Hamas men had doubled as UNRWA workers.

Israel refutes claims that six UNRWA workers were killed, stating three of nine terrorists eliminated in a Gaza strike were agency employees. IDF seeks verification from UNRWA while naming the deceased.
