A relief worker with the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee aid agency was caught on video during the murderous terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 carrying the body of an Israeli soldier who had been gunned down in a southern Israel kibbutz into his car and driving away with it, according to a report.
Faisal Ali Musalam Naami, a social worker at UNRWA, was one of 12 agency employees whom Israeli authorities alleged participated in the brutal Hamas rampage, which resulted in the outbreak of the ongoing war, the Washington Post reported.
A screenshot from the shocking video that captured Naami, 45, participating in the bloody terror attacks, which left 1,200 people dead and saw 253 others kidnapped, was released Friday by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The image was included in a dossier that publicly identified the UNRWA staffers accused of taking part in the Hamas attacks and said Naami “was involved in kidnapping a soldier from [Kibbutz] Beeri.”
Israel also said Naami was a member of a Hamas brigade in Nuseirat, a central Gazan refugee camp, where he lived.
CCTV footage obtained by The Washington Post shows Naami, along with a second man holding a rifle, carrying the bloodied body of an Israeli man off the street in Beeri. The pair, holding the man’s body by his legs and jacket, dump him into the trunk of a white SUV before driving away.

Naami, five of his children, and one of his two wives all were allegedly killed in an Oct. 16 airstrike on their home in Nuseirat, in Central Gaza, an UNRWA worker told The Washington Post.
The Israel Defense Forces told the outlet it “is unaware of a strike at the specified area or time” and a military spokesperson did not respond to a query about whether Naami had been targeted.
Following the explosive allegations of UNRWA staffers’ involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks, the United States and other nations cut funding to the embattled agency
The agency said it had launched an investigation into the damning claims and had fired 10 of the employees accused of participating in the terror attacks; the remaining two were dead.
