I just saw this:
"Breaking: Hamas executes six Palestinians in Rafah for allegedly "collaborating" with Israel.
Hamas also shot 17 others in the foot for attempting to wrestle control of aid trucks back from the terror group" [Note: it's known that Hamas hijacks food truck to resell at highly inflated prices...somebody's got to pay for the tunnels, you know.
