GAZA: HAMAS BURNS DRUG STASH, SENTENCES DEALERS TO DEATH

12 May 2017 :

Gaza's militant Islamic Hamas rulers have burned a large stash of seized narcotics and sentenced two dealers to death as part of their campaign against drugs.
May 11 marked the second time Hamas has delivered death sentences for drug dealing since the group seized power in Gaza in 2007.
Hamas' Interior Ministry says some 1,130 bars of hashish and 467,000 pills that had been seized since the beginning of the year were destroyed.
