Hamas’s internal security division announced that its forces in Gaza are preparing to carry out executions of individuals accused of working as agents and collaborators for Israel in Gaza City.
The statement indicated that the planned executions are intended to disrupt Israel’s intelligence networks and diminish its ability to collect information ahead of a potential Israeli military campaign in the area.
Earlier accounts revealed that Palestinians who had been detained for spying for Israel admitted during questioning that Israel might be planning a preemptive assault to seize control of Gaza City.
The same report highlighted that Israel often relies on sophisticated technology when targeting militants, with one of the primary tools being the tracking of cell phone signals.
As a countermeasure, Hamas is said to have instructed its members to refrain from using mobile devices, or to keep them switched off, in an attempt to avoid Israeli monitoring and detection.
Despite the fact that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who resides in Ramallah, officially suspended executions years ago and holds the authority to approve such sentences, Hamas continues to carry them out independently in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has openly rejected Abbas’s authority and has long maintained that capital punishment in Gaza can be enforced without his approval.
The majority of Hamas’s executions have involved those accused of spying for Israel. In September 2022, Hamas executed two Palestinians convicted of providing information to Israel that led to the deaths of two individuals.
In May 2023, a military tribunal in Gaza handed down death sentences to several Palestinians convicted of passing intelligence to Israel, ordering executions by hanging and by firing squad.
By July, Hamas’s internal security “deterrence” division reported that it had conducted a number of “high-quality” operations, which included the execution of 12 people accused of collaborating with Israel and engaging in criminal acts.
The pro-Fakestinians will be protesting the Hamas persecution and human rights violations of the poor Fakestinians.
I would appreciate it so much if the English-language Jewish media would start reporting on what really goes on across all the Pseudo-stinian areas, and stop relying on the mainstream media.
A few years ago, a brother decapitated his sister in Hebron because another man walked near her down the street (not clear whether she even noticed).
My son, who was serving in Hebron over the past few weeks, said he repeatedly heard rapid-fire rifle-shooting for hours as local clans battled each other, often within the SAME village.
In other words, they execute each other all the time.
