Arab media reports a sharp increase in the number of executions carried out by terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip. According to the reports, many Palestinians have been accused of aiding Israeli intelligence, including by passing on information about senior officials and operatives to facilitate airstrikes.
In the past three days alone, five Palestinians were reportedly executed in Gaza City, either by gunfire or hanging.
According to Palestinian sources, Hamas' internal security apparatus and other factions are aggressively pursuing Gaza residents accused of being "collaborators." After arrest, suspects are interrogated and subjected to various punitive measures, including execution, house arrest, beatings, and shooting in the legs, while being warned against aiding Israel.
The sources indicated that execution orders are issued if a suspect is believed to have contributed to fatalities or to compromised operational capabilities, such as helping locate hostages. At the same time, the number of executions of Palestinians accused of looting and theft is also on the rise. According to the same sources, these individuals are also being accused of collaborating with Israel. Those charged only with theft are punished with leg shootings and beatings, alongside stern warnings.
The reports add that Israeli intelligence has ramped up its operations since the war began, in an effort to broaden its target database. Notably, some terrorist factions have even executed their own members on charges of espionage.
