 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, military court in the Gazoo Strip on Monday sentenced a Paleostinian to death for allegedly providing information to Israel said to have led to Paleostinians being killed, judicial sources said.
The 28-year-old man was identified only by the initials N.A. and no other details on the accusations against him were provided by Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules the Paleostinian territory which has seen three wars with Israel in six years.
According to the Paleostinian Centre for Human Rights, 157 people have been sentenced to death in the occupied territories since the creation of the Paleostinian Authority in 1994.
Thirty-two have been executed, including 30 in the Gazoo Strip.
All execution orders must in theory be approved by Paleostinian president Mahmud Abbas before they can be carried out, but Hamas no longer recognises his legitimacy.
In Gazoo, beyond death sentences handed out by courts, Hamas has also carried out summary executions for collaborating with Israel, sometimes in public places.
The most prominent occurred during last summer's 50-day war between Paleostinian bandidos holy warriors in the territory and Israel, when a firing squad of men in uniforms from Hamas' armed wing rubbed out six people in front of Gazoo City's main mosque.
Under Paleostinian law, collaborators, murderers and narcos risk death sentences.
