Hamas has claimed success with its latest initiative: Operation Gullible Collaborator.
Hamas claimed success on Thursday in their month-long campaign to encourage people in the Gaza Strip accused of collaborating with Israel to turn themselves in.
“The campaign to combat espionage achieved a number of goals, and from this evening the deadline for Israeli collaborators to turn themselves in has ended,” said Interior Ministry spokesman Islam Shahwan.
“Successes were achieved,” he said, adding that the number of people now believed to be working on behalf of Israel was “low.”
On March 12, Hamas set a one-month ultimatum for alleged collaborators to turn themselves in in return for leniency.
“A number of agents turned themselves in,” he said, without giving a number and saying only that they would be “dealt with” according to Palestinian law.
Under Palestinian law, collaboration with Israel is punishable by death.
Doesn’t sound very lenient to me.
