A military court in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Monday sentenced six people, including a woman, to death by hanging for 'collaborating' with Israel, authorities said.
In total 14 people were sentenced for 'collaborating with the occupation,' with six sentenced to be hanged and the rest sentenced to hard labour, the interior ministry in Gaza said.
The rulings came three weeks after eight people were killed when an alleged Israeli army cell in Gaza was uncovered on November 11, leading to a vicious fire fight.

Hamas fired hundreds of rockets at Israel in response, with the Jewish state striking dozens of targets in Gaza before a November 13 ceasefire agreement.
The six sentenced to death Monday were not directly related to the flareup, officials said.
Iyad al-Bozum, the spokesman of the interior ministry in Gaza, told AFP they were linked 'to a communications and eavesdropping device planted by the (Israeli) occupation'.
Six Hamas members were killed when the device apparently exploded after detection near Deir al-Balah in central Gaza in May.
Among those sentenced was a woman living inside Israel, named only as Amal, who was sentenced in absentia and is alleged to have encouraged her nephew in Gaza to collaborate with Israeli intelligence, according to the interior ministry.

Bozum hailed the rulings as a 'clear message' to those who would cooperate with Israel.
'Collaborators must realise the (Israeli) occupation will not be able to protect them,' he told a news conference.
The verdicts drew condemnation from Human Rights Watch.
'Rushing to sentence people to death smacks of militia rule, not the rule of law,' said Omar Shakir, the watchdog's director for Israel and the Palestinian territories.
'The death penalty is a barbaric practice and always wrong, no matter the circumstance,' he told AFP.
It was not clear when the executions of those in custody would take place.

According to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, 28 executions have been carried out in Gaza since Hamas seized control of the coastal enclave in 2007 from rival faction Fatah.
In May 2017, Hamas security forces invited journalists to attend the hanging in Gaza City of three men convicted over the assassination of a senior military commander of the Islamist movement.
During the 2014 war with Israel, a firing squad from Hamas's armed wing killed six men accused of collaborating with the Jewish state.
Hamas and its allies have fought three wars with Israel since 2008 and the Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli blockade for a decade.
Israel says the measure is necessary to isolate Hamas, though critics say they amount to collective punishment of the territory's two million residents.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
