(Times of Israel and AFP) Hamas announced on Sunday that it had executed five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including two for "collaboration" with Israel. "Three others were executed in criminal cases." One of the two was a resident of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip. He was convicted of supplying Israel in 1991 with "information on men of the resistance, their residence, and the location of rocket launchpads," Hamas said. The second was condemned for supplying Israel in 2001 with intelligence "that led to the targeting and martyrdom of citizens" by Israeli forces.
