GAZA: FOUR GET DEATH PENALTY OVER SPYING FOR ISRAEL
January 13, 2016: A military court in the Gaza Strip sentenced four people to death on charges of spying for Israel.
The court said in a statement that it had handed down the death penalty to a 23-year-old man from the Gaza district of Zeitoun over espionage charges.
Three other individuals who “fled from justice” were also found guilty in absentia, the statement added.
Meanwhile, a court source, whose name was not mentioned in reports, said the four defendants were convicted on “charges of spying for the occupation.”
The charges leveled against the convicts include “surveillance” and providing information to help Israel plan the assassination of leaders of the Gaza-based movement of Hamas. (Sources: presstv.ir, 13/01/2016)
