15 Gazans to be tried for espionage
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAs Gaza celebrates the end of a 50-day war with Israel, Hamas announces on the website of its armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, that it will try 15 people on charges of espionage against Israel.
Their alleged spying activities are said by Hamas to have been discovered through their phone conversations with Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agents.
Hamas warns that anyone else who engages in such activity will be caught as well, urging all spies to turn themselves in with the promise of lighter sentences.
If the 15 suspected spies are convicted, they are likely to be executed.
