The man that Hamas claims was hired by Israel to kill a senior Hamas terrorist, Mazen Fuqaha, has been sentenced to death by hanging by a Hamas court.

Fuqaha, the dead Hamas terrorist, was originally sentenced to life for planning a suicide bus bombing in 2002, which murdered nine people. He was released in 2011 as part of the Shalit deal.

Haniyeh decrees, and the court implements.
