Hamas executes 18 in Gaza accused of aiding Israel

Hamas firing squads Friday publicly executed 18 Gaza Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel, a day after three of the Islamist group's top military commanders died in targeted Israeli airstrikes.
Nine men and two women were gunned down at an abandoned police headquarters, witnesses reported. Later, gunmen in black Hamas garb lined up seven hooded men outside a Gaza City mosque and shot them dead as hundreds watched.
The alleged informants were convicted by "revolutionary military trials" of revealing the locations of tunnels, rocket launchers and "resistance houses" that Israel destroyed, the Maan news agency reported.
Hours after the executions, a mortar shell fired from Gaza landed in a small farming kibbutz in southern Israel, killing a 4-year-old boy, the first Israeli child to die in the fighting.
The Israeli military said the shell was launched from beside a U.N. school sheltering Gazans displaced by the fighting, which began July 8. Early Saturday, an Israeli Defense Forces spokesman retracted that claim, saying Hamas, not the U.N., was operating the school, the Jerusalem Post reported.
