A Telegram channel used by more than 3,000 teachers for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza was found replete with posts celebrating Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, praising the terrorists who raped and murdered civilians as "heroes."

The Telegram channel is intended for UNRWA teachers and contains files with staff names, ID numbers, schedules, and curriculum materials, according to UN Watch, which highlighted the troubling messages in a Wednesday report.

Users on the channel glorified the "education" the terrorists received, shared photos of dead or captured Israelis and urged the execution of hostages – in some cases, minutes after the attack began.

Users also regularly share videos, photos, and messages inciting "Jihadi terrorism" and openly celebrate the massacre and rape of civilians by Hamas terrorists, the report alleged.

The caption read: "Wait, sons of Judaism."

He was also alleged to have glorified one of the perpetrators of the Oct. 7 attack as a "friend" and "brother" whom he prayed to Allah to "admit him to paradise without judgment."
