Trouble is the above report is from Hamas/UNRWA sources, so anyone Israel-leaning will certainly discount it. Israel has named 9 Hamas operatives among those killed, but given that source, anyone Palestine-leaning will discount that.

My suspicion is both are true - there were Hamas folk in the mix (including individuals who were both UNRWA and Hamas), and there are UNRWA people who may not have been Hamas-affiliated among the dead, and as always, there were civilians.
