20 November 2012

Gaza City, Palestinian Territories

Palestinians drag the dead body of a suspected collaborator with Israel through the streets of Gaza City, on 20 November. That week had seen heavy bombardment of Gaza by Israel, in what was known as Operation Pillar of Defense.

The dead man was one of six alleged collaborators killed at a city intersection by masked men, who forced them to lie on the ground, and shot them in the head. The military wing of the ruling Hamas organization claimed responsibility for the deaths.

Palestiniens traînant le corps d’un homme, soupçonné de collaborer avec Israël, dans les rues de Gaza, le 20 novembre. Pendant la semaine, Gaza subit de lourds bombardements israéliens dans l’opération nommée Pilier de Défense. La victime est l’un des six hommes soupçonnés de collaboration, tués à un carrefour de Gaza par des hommes masqués qui les ont forcés à se coucher par terre et les ont exécutés d’une balle dans la tête. La branche militaire du Hamas s’est déclarée responsable de leur mort.
