Hamas Executes Six Gaza Protest Organizers
(Ynet News) Einav Halabi - Hamas has begun cracking down on Gazans who participated in recent protests against its rule, executing six people and publicly beating others. Among them was Odai al-Rubai, 22, who had spoken out against Hamas on social media. He was abducted by Hamas operatives, tortured for four hours, and then returned to his family as he lay dying. "He was dragged by a rope around his neck, beaten with clubs and metal rods in front of passersby," witnesses said. Hussam al-Majdalawi, who had also spoken against Hamas, was shot in the legs and left wounded in a public square. Hamza al-Masri, a Gaza-based social activist who lost an eye after being tortured by Hamas in the past, said, "There isn't a single journalist in Gaza who can speak about the crimes being committed here. The world has no idea what's happening." Demonstrations subsided Friday, and no new calls for protests have emerged.
