Gaza City, 10 Rajab 1435/9 May 2014 (MINA) – The Ministry of Interior on Wednesday evening executed two collaborators with the Israeli military.

The ministry said in a statement that “the death sentence was carried out against collaborators P . K by shooting and G. T. by hanging after they were convicted of collaborating with hostile entities and treason, contrary to Article 131, 144, and 148 of Palestinian Penal Code of 1979.”

Al-Ray Media Agency quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The statement pointed out that “the execution has been carried out in the presence of all the competent authorities and elders and elites of Palestinian society, and pursuant to the legal procedures.”

“The ministry proceeded with the execution of the judgments after all appeals were exhausted and the convicts granted the right to defend themselves,” the statement added.

Both convicts cooperated with the Israeli occupation for more than nine years; they provided intelligence to the Israeli military that led to the killing and injuring of a number of Palestinian resistance fighters, destroying of metal workshops, and recruiting of other collaborators. (T/P02/E01)
