Hamas publicly executes 'collaborators of Israel' just hours after signing peace treaty with Israel

Hamas carried out mass public executions in Gaza on Monday, October 13, just hours after signing a peace treaty with Israel.

The executions are part of a series of bloody reprisals following the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Following the IDF’s withdrawal, Hamas has quickly looked to reassert its control over Gaza, targeting the “clans,” or family-based armed groups that had gained strength during the conflict.

Gruesome video shows eight badly beaten, blindfolded men kneeling in the street before each is shot de@d by Hamas gunmen in front of a cheering crowd. 

The terror group said, without providing evidence, that the k!llings targeted “criminals and collaborators with Israel,” the BBC reported.

Among those killed was Ahmad Zidan al-Tarabin, reportedly responsible for recruiting agents to a rival non-Hamas-aligned militia, Israeli outlet ynet News reported. 

The Palestinian terror group began its deadly reprisals before the peace deal was even signed. On Sunday, 52 members of the powerful Dagmoush clan were k!lled in clashes with Hamas’ internal security forces, while 12 Hamas terrorists, including the son of senior official Bassem Naim, also d!ed, according to reports in Gaza.

Hamas militants reportedly used ambulances to storm the neighborhood of the clan, whom they accused of collaboration with Israel.

“It’s a massacre. They’re dragging people away, children are screaming and dying, they’re burning our houses. What did we do wrong?” one clan member’s daughter told Ynet News. 

Earlier on Monday, Oct. 13, US President Donald Trump suggested he had given Hamas approval to manage internal security in Gaza “as it sees fit,” as part of a peace deal to return the remaining living hostages to Israel. 

“They [Hamas] do want to stop the problems, and they’ve been open about it, and we gave them approval for a period of time,” he told a reporter on Air Force One.
