Ahmad Dawoud, UNRWA West Bank Nurse, Glorifies Terrorist Commander

Ahmad Dawoud lists himself as Emergency Department RN (Registered Nurse) at UNRWA Qalqilya Hospital in the West Bank. His profile also contains several pictures inside and in front of the hospital clearly bearing the UN signage.

In October 2022, Dawoud posted photos commem- orating Dr. Abdullah Al-Ahmad who was killed during a firefight with the IDF. Fatah’s military wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, described Dr. Ahmad as its “commander.” The text accompany- ing the photo glorifies Dr. Ahmad—who apparently was both a doctor at an UNRWA hospital and an Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades commander—as a “martyr,” saying men like him “are scarce.”

Post translation:

Surely, we belong to Allah and verily to Him do we return. The martyrdom of [our] brother and comrade, Dr. Abdullah Al-Ahmad, director of the Permit andLicensing Unit, may Allah have mercy on you and have you dwell in Paradisewith the prophets, the righteous, and the martyrs. We knew you only as a man at a time when men like you are scarce.
