The Hamas regime in Gaza has launched an all-out manhunt to round up collaborators with Israel, most of whom usually end up executed.
Hamas interior ministry official Mohammed Lafi said, We monitor the tools and techniques used by the Israeli occupation to recruit collaborators and we are working to dismantle them, according to the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency.
He claimed that that the number of collaborators has decreased in recent years because of rehabilitation programs, which may partly true or may be a spooky euphemism for simply sentencing them to death in courts or executing them without trial.
Hamas courts have handed down 30 death sentences in the past six years, mostly against collaborators, and Hamas executed at least eight men last November during the Pillar of Defense counterterrorist operation that ended the latest barrage of missile attacks on Israel.

"Two other Gaza residents also were murdered the same week, one of them shot dead in public, while the body of the other was found in a garbage can. Human rights groups issued a condemnation of the executions and then dropped the matter."
I seem to remember the Khmer Rouge had a "rehabilitation program" too. Nice of the human rights groups to just drop the matter. Can't be allowed to waste their precious time, don't you know.
