Sources to establish militancy, level of rank, etc., are heavily Israeli-biased sources (Ynetnews, Virtual Jerusalem, etc.). Can we establish these claims neutrally? Asonnlakn (talk) 19:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is doubtful that the Teachers' Union (or association) mentioned in this article is part of UNRWA's infrastructure. It seems to be an external body. In such a case the text should be reworded and the link should not point to UNRWA webpage as it does not belong to this institution. Furthermore, I was unable to find any information about such Teachers' Union or the Teachers' Association on the UNRWA website and the only source is an article in Arabic of unclear provenance. Otherwise he looks like a teacher from one of UNRAW's 700 schools, i.e. a teacher among the 22,000 teachers. It would be good to clarify if he was "principal of the UNRWA-run 'Deir Yassin' school" (which anyway is just one in the about UNRWA 70 schools in Lebanon).

Please read the issue. It indicates that: (1) he was part of UNRWA as a school teacher, which seems confirmed, but (2) the Teachers Union as currently worded seems to be part of UNRWA, which seems false. Again, as currently drafted it appears that this association is part of the UNRWA infrastructure rather than an external body. If the Teachers' Union is not part of the UNRWA infrastructure, then Wikipedia can't have a link pointing to the webpage of UNRWA, the link should be to this association (and not be described as part of UNRWA). 2001:1C02:2B1E:AF00:1680:1BF2:2668:7329 (talk) 09:40, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After reading the English translation of the link given about Fatah Sharif's profession, that link does not say that he was a member of the UNRWA Teacher's Union, but simply a Lebanese Teachers' Union. Since there seems to be no such institution called “UNRWA Teacher's Union”, I think it would be important to remove/change that sentence. AyubuZimbale (talk) 21:00, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The "allegiance" spot is usually reserved for the nation or other power that the person served in a military capacity. UNRWA is more akin to an employer than a group to which he swore allegiance. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In several parts of the words used replicate those of references marked as "unreliable source?" and "needs independent confirmation". For example, using the term commander of Hamas in Lebanon has a military POV while most of the independent references mention "leader/member of the movement’s leadership abroad". It is needed an independent source to ascertain if he has a military commander role as the only source provided is IDF (Israel Defense Forces). Also sources of "Middle East Monitor" are used to support that he is a commander of Hamas but these reference doesn't say such thing. AyubuZimbale (talk) 10:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is an statement saying Southern Lebanon is the main area of operation for Hamas in the region, with its operatives responsible for most of the rocket fire targeting Nahariya and the Krayot regions directly copied from a reference marked as[unreliable source?][needs independent confirmation]. Note that it is true there are news indicating that groups close to Hamas fired rockets in Nov-2023 however it is very unclear at this point that they are systematic operations. So the assessment "operatives responsible for most of the rocket fire targeting Nahariya and the Krayot regions" is very unclear (at least I was not able to find further information about systematic activities of these groups or "if most of rocket fire" are due to them). Anyway the sentence seems to add an specific framing to one side rather than information about the biography of Fatah Sharif. AyubuZimbale (talk) 10:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no question about "In March 2024, UNRWA in Lebanon announced his suspension from his position as a teacher for the agency due to what was described as a "violation of agency protocols", however that it was due to "after he praised the 7 October attack" needs an independent source confirmation.
