{{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.}}<\/p>\n
Masked gunmen executed the suspects in Gaza City – then paraded their bodies before a crowd.<\/p>\n
Several people stomped and spat on the corpses as one was tied to a motorbike and dragged through the streets while onlookers screamed, \u201cSpy! Spy!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hamas military wing, Izzedine al-Qassam, admitted responsibility for the killings, claiming the men had been feeding Israel information.<\/p>\n
The deaths came on the seventh day of an Israeli military offensive that has killed more than 120 Palestinians, both militants and civilians.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
However a truce is said to have been agreed after the two sides held negotiations in Egypt.<\/p>\n
