In my head I can hear some keffiyeh-clad folk singer warbling an adaptation of the folk song about union activist Joe Hill: “I dreamed I saw Fateh Sherif last night, alive as you and me…” That would be after the IDF blasted him in an airstrike in one of those eternal refugee camps in Tyre, Lebanon.
Sherif was head of the UNRWA teachers’ union in Lebanon with a second gig coordinating Hamas’s terror activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah operatives, as well as Hamas’s efforts in Lebanon to recruit operatives and acquire weapons. More industrious than Joe Hill, the guy was working two jobs!
UN Watch has been tracking Sherif’s activities for a while now. You can access its useful thread on Sherif here. NRO’s David Zimmerman’s story on Sherif’s exit is posted here. The Times of Israel’s Joshue Davidovich’s story is posted here. The Reuters/Jerusalem Post story is posted here.
The tweet below reads in Hebrew: “Palestinian media reports: the leader of Hamas in Lebanon [Fateh Sherif] Abu al-Amin also served as the head of the UNRWA teachers’ association in the country.”
