GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) —

Hamas says it executed two men whom it accuses of passing intelligence to Israel.

The Hamas interior ministry issued a brief statement saying the men were hanged in Gaza’s central jail over the weekend.

Hamas did not release their names but said they were executed after a “legal process.”
