Your article doesn't even mention the United Nations. It only tries to downplay the war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7. Try to stay focused on the contents of the article.

What the article does is explain quite clearly how all the armed factions, not just Hamas, have been engaged in a struggle against a colonial occupier for decades, of which October 7 is just the latest escalation. I think it does more to emphasize Israel’s atrocious existence, the necessary context for that struggle, than bother at all with what international laws Palestinian combatants did or didn't break. (Why look at that in isolation from those broken by Israeli combatants anyway?)
With that context, you can connect the dots yourself—why does UNRWA even exist as a distinct entity from other refugee organizations in the first place? Why would the UN make any resolutions regarding armed struggles?
