Three Palestinians accused of “collaborating” with Israel were executed by masked Hamas terrorists in front of a cheering crowd in Gaza on Sunday.
Ghastly footage of the killings, originally posted on a Hamas-affiliated Telegram group, shows the three doomed blindfolded men kneeling on the ground in front of a trio of Hamas gunmen holding automatic weapons as a fourth loudly reads in Arabic from a piece of paper.
“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 terroristsaid, according to an English-language translation provided to the Telegraph by The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis.
The crowd can be heard chanting “Allahu Akbar!” — a Muslim prayer meaning “God is most great” — seemingly cheering on the brutal executions.
All three men were then shot in their heads and upper bodies, with the terrorists placing notes on their corpses reading, “Your betrayal will not pass without punishment. A harsh punishment awaits” in handwritten Arabic, the outlet said.
Hamas’ ministry of the interior called the men a “group of outlaws” who had collaborated with the Jewish state.
Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom said Islamic Jihad and the Mujahideen Brigades — both formally designated as terror groups by the US — also took part in the savagery.
The footage was taken less than a day after Canada, the UK and Australia took the controversial move of formally recognizing Palestine as a UN member state, over the staunch objections of both the US and Israel.
The barbaric slayings weren’t the first time this year Hamas executed a group of Palestinians.
In May, the terror group killed six Palestinians accused of looting humanitarian aid and shot another 13 in their legs, according to the outlet.
