GAZA: HAMAS SENTENCES 5 MEN TO DEATH FOR GIVING ISRAEL INFORMATION
April 18, 2016: A Gazan military court sentenced five men to death, charging them with being informants for Israel.
Three of the cases involved alleged spying on behalf of Israel in 2000 and 2001, and two of the men were found guilty of working for Israel in 2008.
Four of the men were to be put to death by hanging, and one by firing squad.
At least one man can still appeal his sentence.
Several of the men were found guilty of giving information to Israel that led to the deaths of Hamas fighters, according to Palestinian news site Safa. Some were also accused of treason.
It was not clear when the sentences against the five would be carried out. (Sources: timesofisrael.com, 18/04/2016)
