DHAKA: Hamas has killed 11 suspected informers for Israel, a Gaza security official said, a day after Israel killed three of the group's top military commanders in an airstrike on a house in southern Gaza Strip.
The security official said the 11 suspected informers were killed early on Friday at the Gaza City police headquarters.
He said the 11 men had previously been sentenced by Gaza courts.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the incident with reporters.
The killings of the 11 were also reported by Al Rai and Al Majd, two websites linked to Hamas.
Israel's intelligence services rely, in part, on informers to pinpoint the whereabouts of Hamas leaders.
