Israeli forces execute three Gaza detainees shortly after release

Gaza Strip

Israeli occupation forces executed three Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, shortly after releasing them from detention. The men had been detained during Israel's military offensive on northern Gaza in early October.

Palestinian News & Information Agency (WAFA) quoted local sources and eyewitnesses as saying the detainees were freed from Israeli custody at the Zikim military base near the northern Gaza border. After their release, the Israeli navy targeted the three men with gunfire from warships as they were near Al-Khalidi Mosque, along the coastal road northwest of Gaza City.
