Gaza Strip: Hamas executes three as death penalty resumes
31 May 2016 Middle East
Three people convicted of murder have been executed in the Gaza Strip, in a move condemned by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
The men were shot or hanged on Tuesday after appeals were exhausted, officials from Gaza's de facto rulers, the Islamist Hamas movement, said.
Hamas did not seek the approval of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, as required under Palestinian law.
It underscores the continuing divisions between the main Palestinian factions.
