Abedelmeneim Alshrafy lists himself as an UNRWA employee on Facebook. Photographs of him wearing doctor’s clothes inUNRWA offices and in front of UNRWA buildings indicate that he has worked as an UNRWA doctor at least since 2014. He mourns the death of his Hamas nephew killed on October 7, presumably during Hamas attack on Israeli civilians.
In this October 7 post, Abedelmeneim Alshrafy mourns his nephew, apparently killed in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, as a“martyr.” Alshrafy’s nephew is recognizable as a Hamas fighter by the Hamas band around his head.
Translation:
The martyrdom of my nephew, Muhammad Raed Al-Sharafi… We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.
Alshrafy also incited violence in this August 2017 post featuring armed and masked Palestinians defending the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount with the caption “Soon, if Allah wills it”. The image of the golden Dome of the Rock is often associated with the Al Aqsa Mosque which also sits atop the Temple Mount. Both the PA and Hamas frequently use the Al Aqsa Mosque to incite violence against Israel and Jews who they accuse of trying to take it over.
Translation:
Soon, if Allah wills it.
