Hamas announced late Thursday that it executed Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who collaborated with Israel. The terror group did not state how many people were executed.

Earlier, Palestinian daily al-Quds reported that Hamas official Ayman Taha was executed three days ago, following months of detention for allegedly maintaining contacts with intelligence services in Arab countries, and for involvement in shady financial dealings.

Taha was shot several times in the head and chest, and his body now lies in the Shifa Hospital, the report said. Hamas initially barred the incident from publication, it added, until today when Hamas released the information.
