GAZA - Hamas said on Thursday it had executed several Palestinians on suspicion of helping Israeli forces during the month-long Gaza conflict. 'The spies were executed after they were caught red-handedly informing on the whereabouts of the resistance (or) disrupting the work of resistance men and defusing ambushes prepared against the enemy,' Al-Majd, a pro-Hamas website, quoted an unnamed member of the Islamist group's security services as saying. It did not elaborate on the number of people executed.
