IDF Uncovers Secret Hamas Data Center Directly Beneath UNRWA’s Gaza HQ
We’ve known that Hamas operates in hospitals and schools in Gaza, despite their heated denials. We’ve also known about the extensive terror tunnel network under the Strip, where they store weapons, hide hostages, and plan attacks.
But a new find by the Israel Defense Forces is even more troubling – Hamas has been operating a sophisticated data center directly beneath the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks, and living quarters for Hamas terrorists overseeing the computer operations.
This is far from the first time the UNRWA has come under scrutiny.
The terrorist technology center had escaped detection by the Israelis — until now.
At the time of the initial ground offensive in Gaza City, the military had not found or known much about the Hamas data center. But new intelligence, primarily emerging from the Shin Bet interrogations of captured terrorists, helped pinpoint where to dig.
The IDF was here previously, the first time was to destroy the enemy, but when we were here the last time we collected a lot of intelligence documents and findings, a lot of prisoners, and thanks to this we reached here. Now we carried out a targeted operation to take this capability away, said the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Benny Aharon, while giving a media tour of the tunnel and UN complex on Thursday.
We had a basis of information, but not enough to be able to dig down 20 meters and find it, we needed a bit more. There’s information we get from prisoners we capture, from computers we find, from documents, maps, he said.
Two IDF soldiers were killed by Hamas sniper fire as they tried to reach the data center. Twenty meters below the surface, the IDF found sophisticated technology.
There were about half a dozen rows of server cabinets, each with racks of computers for Hamas’s operations.
We are now at the heart of the secret… under the main UNRWA building. Here is where Hamas kept its intelligence servers, Hazan said. He said that to destroy it, totally, so that Hamas cannot use this intelligence supremacy again, you need boots on the ground.
IDF officials believe Hamas used the server farm for intelligence gathering, data processing, and communications. Hard drives and some of the computers were taken to Israel to be investigated by intelligence authorities before the tunnel system was demolished in a large explosion.
While pro-Hamas protests continue to rage around the world, the governmental entity/terror group continues to prove that they will observe no norms nor show any human decency as they campaign against the destruction of Israel.
Meanwhile, the discovery further points to the rot in the UNRWA and shows us that the U.S. should have nothing to do with the organization.

This latest revelation highlights the extent to which Hamas has entrenched itself within civilian buildings, using them as shields and exploiting international organizations like UNRWA for cover. It raises serious questions about Hamas’s disregard for the safety and well-being of innocent Palestinians, as well as the complicity and lack of oversight within UNRWA.
The discovery of the secret Hamas data center beneath the UNRWA headquarters raises concerns not only about the vulnerability of international organizations to exploitation by terrorist groups but also about the effectiveness of the measures in place to mitigate such threats.
The UNRWA has long been criticized for its failures in preventing Hamas infiltration and for perpetuating a cycle of dependency rather than working towards a sustainable solution for Palestinian refugees. This latest revelation further erodes confidence in the agency and its ability to fulfill its mandate effectively.
While the IDF’s discovery and subsequent destruction of the Hamas data center is a significant blow to the terrorist group’s capabilities, it also serves as a sobering reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced by Israel in its fight against terrorism.
As the global community reacts to this disturbing revelation, it is crucial for nations to reassess their support for organizations like UNRWA and to condemn the use of civilian infrastructure for nefarious purposes. The fight against terrorism requires a united front, and it is imperative that international institutions uphold their principles and safeguard the integrity of their operations.
The IDF’s success in uncovering this hidden Hamas stronghold demonstrates Israel’s unwavering commitment to its security and the protection of its citizens. While the threat posed by Hamas persists, this development serves as a reminder that the Israeli military remains vigilant and continues to adapt its strategies to counter terrorism effectively.
As the world grapples with the many complex issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this discovery serves as a stark reminder that the battle against terrorism is ongoing. The international community must stand together in condemning the use of civilian structures by terrorist groups and support efforts to dismantle their networks, ensuring the safety and security of all those affected by this long-standing conflict in the Middle East.
