Hamas sentences accused Israel collaborator death by firing squad

[oberliner]

A military court in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Sunday sentenced a man to death by firing squad for allegedly collaborating with Israel.

Hamas spokesman Mohammed Nahal provided no other details regarding the sentencing. He said he did not know how many Gazans are currently on death row.

The death sentence in Gaza cannot technically be carried out unless Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah party rules in the West Bank, approves the move. Abbas has not allowed executions to take place since he came to power in 2005.

Rights groups say that Hamas has executed 17 men who escaped jail during Israel's three-week military operation in Gaza last month, after being convicted as collaborators.

1. Am I the only one that believes military court rulings are suspect?

Seems people just don't get the fair trial they deserve when done by military tribunals...

That being said- :puke:
