A chilling Hamas execution took place Sunday in Gaza, where three Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel were publicly murdered by masked gunmen in front of a cheering crowd. The incident underscores the terror group’s brutal control over the region and the deadly risks faced by civilians.
Footage, posted on a Hamas-affiliated Telegram group, shows the blindfolded men kneeling as a masked figure reads their death sentence aloud. “Pursuant to the content of Palestinian revolutionary law and based on the Palestinian revolutionary court, a death sentence was decided against those who betrayed the homeland, betrayed their people and betrayed their cause, and put [themselves] hand-in-hand with the occupation in order to kill their own people,” the terrorists said, according to an English translation provided to the Telegraph.
All three men were shot in the head and upper body, with notes left on their bodies reading: “Your betrayal will not pass without punishment. A harsh punishment awaits.” Hamas’ interior ministry labeled them a “group of outlaws,” and Israeli reports indicate that Islamic Jihad and the Mujahideen Brigades — both U.S.-designated terrorist organizations — also participated in the killings.
The execution coincided with controversial moves at the U.N., where Canada, the UK, and Australia formally recognized Palestine as a member state despite strong objections from the U.S. and Israel. The timing highlights the dangers of legitimizing Palestinian statehood under leadership that openly celebrates terror and public executions.
This Hamas execution starkly illustrates the lethal realities in Gaza and serves as a grim warning against international actions that might embolden terrorist groups.
