Raed Wadi lists himself as an UNRWA medical officer. He has shared posts on Facebook that honor Palestinian terrorist Omar Abu Laila and Hezbollah operative Sami Shihab.
In his text accompanying the images, Wadi further praises Abu Laila as a “martyr of Palestine,” and calls on his followers to read Abu Laila’s will which was writtenwith “his heart and pure hand.”The will expresses Abu Laila’shope of becoming a “martyr.”
The following post celebrates Hezbollah operative Sami Shihab and advocates terrorist attacks against Israel. Shihab oversaw the smuggling of weapons to Gaza through Egypt and the planning of terrorist attacks at resorts frequented by Israeli tourists.46 This post begins by honoring Shihab” for his weapons smuggling to Gaza. It concludes with further admirationfor Shihab whose “cargo” (i.e., deadly rockets and missiles) now land in Israel, which Wadi refers to as “occupied Palestine.” Thus, not only is Wadi posting praise and support for rocket attacks which target innocent Israeli civilians, but he is also rejecting Israel’s right to exist by referring to undisputed parts of Israel bordering Gaza as “occupied.”
