Terrorist or Therapist? Islamic Jihad ID’s MSF Worker as One of Their Own

Feb 25, 2026·3 min read

Fadi Jihad Mohammed al-Wadiyya worked two jobs: rocket manufacturer for Palestinian Islamic Jihad and physical therapist for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). So when a strike killed him on his way to “work” about two years ago, MSF naturally slammed the IDF for the strike, calling it “cynical and abhorrent.” The group said at the time that the terrorist — er, therapist — was struck down while on his way to “provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza.”

“This attack is yet another brutal example of the senseless killing of Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers in Gaza,” MSF declared at the time.

But on Tuesday, PIJ acknowledged that al-Wadiyya worked for them as deputy commander of its military manufacturing wing, helping the terrorist organization to manufacture rockets.

MSF has stayed silent about al-Wadiyya since the recent revelation, although it finally, reluctantly, agreed to provide a list of its employees to the IDF, which had initially said they had until Feb. 28 to submit the roster or face expulsion from the Strip. As recently as Feb. 14, the organization finally admitted what they surely knew all along: Masked gunmen were a frequent presence at the hospital, intimidating, torturing, and arresting patients. Without naming the mysterious group the fighters were affiliated with, MSF suspended operations at the hospital.

The IDF said at the time that al-Wadiyya provided knowledge of electronics and technology to the Iranian-backed terror group, helping it manufacture missiles. It was “just another case of terrorists in Gaza exploiting the civilian population,” the IDF said.

Following revelations that several employees of MSF and other aid groups working in Gaza doubled as terrorists, the IDF warned those groups to submit lists of their staff or face expulsion from the Strip. MSF initially balked, but eventually agreed to comply, saying that it would, “as an exceptional measure,” supply “a defined list of Palestinian staff and international staff names” to the IDF so that it could “continue providing critical medical care.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that others working for MSF also doubled as terrorists, citing the case of Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al-Shalfouh, an MSF employee who served Hamas as a sniper.

“Fadi Al-Wadiya was employed by MSF while serving as a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist, responsible for advancing the group’s rocket capabilities,” the ministry posted on X. “He is not alone. Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al Shalfouh was also employed by MSF and identified as a Hamas terrorist involved as sniper in combat and operational activity.”

“This is why strict vetting and real accountability of humanitarian staff is essential,” the ministry added. “Aid must never be a cover for terror.”
