JAKARTA - Hamas fighters have strengthened their grip in Gaza and have carried out an execution in public Hamas against Israel's statement that it cannot end under US President Donald Trump's plan until militants are stripped of weapons.
Hamas fighters executed the people they accused of working with Israeli forces.
In a video circulating late Monday, Hamas fighters dragged seven people into a circle of people in Gaza City, forcing them to their knees, and shooting them from behind.
Reported by Reuters, Tuesday, October 14, Hamas sources confirmed the authenticity of the video.
Gazans said fighters were increasingly visible on Tuesday, deployed along the routes needed for aid deliveries.
Palestinian security sources said dozens of people had died in clashes between Hamas fighters and their arch-foe in recent days.
Although Israeli troops have been withdrawn from urban areas in Gaza by a ceasefire that began last week, drone fire killed five people as they went to inspect homes in the eastern suburbs of Gaza City.
Airstrikes killed one person and injured another near Khan Younis, Gaza's health authorities said.
Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. The Israeli military opened fire on people crossing the ceasefire line and approached its troops after ignoring calls for a return.
