Hamas sentences 7 Gazans to death by hanging for ‘collaboration’ with Israel

The Times of Israel reports: “A military court in the Gaza Strip on Sunday sentenced seven people to death by hanging for ‘collaboration’ with Israel, the coastal enclave’s Hamas-run interior ministry said.

The court also sentenced seven others to ‘life imprisonment with hard labor,’ which in Gaza amounts to 25 years, the ministry said in a statement.
