The IDF releases images showing Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket expert
Fadi al-Wadiya wearing the terror group’s uniform, after Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, named him as a staffer but
denied he was a terror operative.
Al-Wadiya was killed in a drone strike in Gaza City yesterday.
The organization then said in a post on X that al-Wadiya was killed while riding his bicycle to the MSF clinic where he worked.
The IDF said he was a prominent member of Islamic Jihad, involved in developing missiles for the terror group, as well as being an electronics and chemistry expert.
Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, says al-Wadiya worked for Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing unit for more than 15 years.
He attaches three images showing al-Wadiya in Islamic Jihad uniform.
Adraee adds that in 2018, the same year that al-Wadiya joined Doctors Without Borders, the latter tried to leave Gaza for Iran to undergo training there with two other terror operatives.
