Hamas executes Palestinians

Two Palestinians (a father and son) were executed after being convicted of collaborating with Israel.

Under Palestinian law, collaboration with Israel, murder and drug trafficking are all punishable by death. Executions must be approved by the President, but Hamas no longer recognises the legitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas because elections have not been held since his term ran out in January 2009.
