Gaza Gunmen Execute 6 Israel ‘Spies’

{{In Gaza, six men accused of spying for Israel were shot dead in public in Gaza Tuesday – ahead of a planned ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.}}

Masked gunmen executed the suspects in Gaza City – then paraded their bodies before a crowd.

Several people stomped and spat on the corpses as one was tied to a motorbike and dragged through the streets while onlookers screamed, “Spy! Spy!”

The Hamas military wing, Izzedine al-Qassam, admitted responsibility for the killings, claiming the men had been feeding Israel information.

The deaths came on the seventh day of an Israeli military offensive that has killed more than 120 Palestinians, both militants and civilians.

Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes, targeting rocket-launching sites, weapons caches and homes of Hamas activists, after Palestinians fired hundreds of rockets at Israel.

However a truce is said to have been agreed after the two sides held negotiations in Egypt.
