GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Gaza's Ministry of the Interior announced the death Wednesday of a man convicted of collaboration, identified only as A.S., and said to have been found guilty of spying.
It is the sixth execution that has been carried out by the Gaza government, in contradiction to a Palestinian law that necessitates the approval of the president before death sentences are carried out.
The ministry said in a statement that the death sentence was carried out after all means of appeal had been completed, and after obtaining the approval of the Gaza government.
A.S. was sentenced to death by firing squad on 19 April. The court determined that his acts of collaboration had aided in the assassination of Palestinians.
