the Higher Military Court in Gaza sentenced Mohammed Ibrahim Isma’il “al-Sab’a”, 36, from Rafah, to death by hanging after convicting him of treason and participation in deliberate murder. On  July 19, 2009, the Permanent Military Court sentenced Isma’il “al-Sab’a” to life imprisonment with hard work after convicting him of collaboration with hostile parties and deliberate murder. The Military Advocate General appealed against the sentence of the Permanent Military Court and the Higher Military Court in Gaza was convened on an exceptional basis to review the sentence.
