Yesterday, an Israeli bus was fired upon while driving on a highway in the Jordan Valley, at least six people were injured. This is still under review, and the newspaper reported that the Israeli ambulance service was treating the victims, noting that the injuries were of moderate severity.
According to the Walla website, the Israeli army arrested the two suspects shortly after the attack, noting that several militants had opened fire on the bus and then set fire to the vehicle in which they arrived at the scene.
In addition, Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, announced on Sunday the execution of five Palestinians, two of whom were convicted of “collaboration” with Israel.
The movement released the initials and dates of birth of the five without revealing their full identities.
Palestinian law punishes the death penalty for crimes related to relations with Israel, murder and drug trafficking, provided that these sentences are approved by the President of Palestine.
The Palestinian Authority bans executions and adheres to the Second Protocol to the 1989 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which abolishes punishment, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, which is calling on authorities in the Gaza Strip to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment with hard labor.
