The Hamas terrorist organization carried out a public execution Sunday evening of three Palestinians in central Gaza City, accusing them of collaborating with Israel.
The men were forced to kneel with their eyes covered and their hands tied. Militants then read them their "sentence." Before being shot, they were laid on the ground to intensify their humiliation.

Footage of the execution, which Israel Hayom has chosen not to publish in full, was widely circulated on Hamas-affiliated Telegram channels.
A large crowd of Gaza residents gathered at the scene, filming the incident on their phones and chanting slogans in support of Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
After the execution, the terrorists placed a paper on the bodies with the message: "To all mercenaries of the occupation and collaborators – the time has come to cut off your heads."
According to Hamas-linked media outlets, the execution followed accusations that the three men were involved in the arrest of a Hamas terrorist. Hamas claimed its members had ambushed the suspects, detained them, and confiscated their equipment.
A Hamas source said the execution was carried out jointly with Islamic Jihad and the Mujahideen Brigades, two other terrorist groups that operate alongside Hamas in its joint command center.
