GAZA: THREE MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR SPYING, MURDER
October 17, 2016: Courts in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip handed down three death sentences, including one for allegedly spying for Israel and two others for murder, authorities said.
In the first case, “the military court in Gaza decided upon death by hanging for the convict, 54, on charges on spying for the Israeli occupation,” a court source said.
The court said the man had allegedly been linked to Israel since 1987 and had provided a large amount of information to the Jewish state since then.
The case was held behind closed doors and the defendant was referred to only by the initials E.A.
Another alleged spy was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Also on Monday two men from rival families were sentenced to death after tit-for-tat killings in 2013 and 2015 respectively, the public prosecutor said. (Sources: Afp, 17/10/2016)
