Hooded gunmen shot dead three fellow-Palestinians for collaborating with Israel, taking swift vengeance on them for an Israeli missile strike that killed two Palestinian militants.
The summary executions came hours after the local commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Marwan Zuloum, and his bodyguard were killed in the helicopter attack on their car.
About 20 gunmen dragged the victims out of a prison in the West Bank town of Hebron, meeting no resistance from the handful of police on duty. Then they took them to the wreck of the car hit overnight by an Israeli helicopter gunship, and shot them there as a crowd screamed
"Revenge, revenge". Men, women and children spat at the bodies as they were dragged through the streets. Then they were strung up on electricity poles.
Palestinian security sources said Mohammed Dibassah, Zuhair al-Muhtesseb and Moussa Rjoub had been jailed for collaborating with Israel.
Palestinian TV said the three collaborators were executed by the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
