A gun-toting Palestinian migrant who broke into Britain via small boat and had called for the "death to all Jews" has been caught living in a semi-detached property at the taxpayer's expense.
Abu Wadee, 34, was jailed for nine months for attempting to enter the country without leave or valid entry clearance.
After he set foot on British soil, he was arrested by immigration enforcement officers and was placed in a migrant hotel in Manchester.
Following his release from prison in December, Wadee wasted no time in filing an asylum application to stay in Britain.
And now, the Palestinian has been found living in a property in Corby, Northamptonshire, as part of the Home Office asylum dispersal scheme, commonly dubbed "Operation Scatter".
The 34-year-old - who filmed himself calling for Allah to "punish Jews completely" - shares the home with three other asylum seekers.
According to average Home Office figures on the dispersal scheme, working Britons will fork out £23.25 for every night he stays in the semi-detached home.
Wadee will also pocket up to £49.18 every week in subsistence allowance.
Corby locals have voiced their fury at the "Hamas supporter" being placed in their community - though he has previously told the Northamptonshire Telegraph he no longer supports Hamas.

Wadee did admit he had been a member of a militant group known as the Tyre Burning Unit, and said had called for the killing of Jews - but claimed that was "eight years ago".
One neighbour told the Mail: "I believe that we should help people from war-torn countries and welcome them here.
"But to say death to Jewish people? I am appalled.
"That is not welcome here. Not in this country or this street."
Another resident told the newspaper they "never thought they would allow someone like this to live here", before describing the 34-year-old's presence as "scary".

Wadee live-streamed his Channel crossing on TikTok and was apprehended by immigration officers after videos emerged of him making a slew of antisemitic remarks.
The Palestinian migrant previous posted photos showing him brandishing a Kalashnikov rifle and an artillery shell, and engaging in clashes with the Israel Defence Forces.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said it was "joke" that taxpayers were being forced to foot the bill for the "lifestyle of a Hamas-supporting, gun-toting extremist who broke into our country illegally".
The Tory frontbencher called for the 34-year-old to be deported, before adding: "Given that he supports Hamas and Hamas-run Gaza, I see no reason why he can't go back there. He'd fit right in."
However, while the Home Office is said to be trying to deport him, it cannot do so now because of the "risks to life" in the region and a lack of safe and legal routes to return to Gaza.

Wadee was previously branded a "dangerous extremist" by Jewish campaigners, who called on the Government to swiftly remove him from the country.
A Campaign Against Antisemitism spokesman fumed: "What is the point of imprisoning someone for being in the country illegally, and then when he completed his sentence, allowing him to roam free?"
The group warned that Britain's laws had become "a laughing stock".
A Government spokesman said: "Any foreign national who receives a prison sentence in the UK is referred for deportation at the earliest opportunity and will be barred from ever returning.
"Over 11,000 foreign criminals including murderers and rapists have been returned or deported in the two years since the last election - a 41 per cent increase on the two years prior."
