Hamas torturing and killing political opponents
Human Rights Watch accuses Hamas of maiming and murdering political adversaries in Gaza.
Hamas directed gunmen to eliminate political opponents and suspected collaborators under the cover of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, killing 32 people and wounding dozens in such attacks since December, an international human rights group said Monday.

Human Rights Watch portrayed the attacks as the worst outbreak of internal violence since Hamas violently seized control of Gaza in June 2007 and expelled rivals in the more moderate Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who now controls only the West Bank.Such practices are aimed, in part, at quashing dissent in Gaza and make a mockery of Hamas’ claim it upholds the law, the group said.
During the war, “Hamas authorities … took extraordinary steps to control, intimidate, punish and at times eliminate their internal political rivals as well as persons suspected of collaborating with Israel,” the report said.
Hamas denies everything.
