GAZA—Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist group executed five Palestinians on Sunday, two of them on charges of espionage for Israel that dated back to 2015 and 2009, the enclave’s Hamas-run Interior Ministry said.

The dawn executions, by hanging or firing squad, were the first in the territories since 2017. Past cases of capital punishment being carried out in Gaza have drawn criticism from human rights groups.
