Summary by Ground News

Hamas Islamist movement says it executed five Palestinians, including two for "collaboration" with Israel. The defendants had previously been given "their full rights to defend themselves," Hamas says. The three others executed on Sunday had been convicted of murder. The executions, by hanging or firing squad, were the first in the Palestinian territories since 2017. Past cases of capital punishment in Gaza have drawn criticism from human rights groups.
