Israel Builds Execution Site for Palestinians Under New Death Penalty Law
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing construction of a gallows facility intended for executing Palestinian prisoners convicted of terror offenses. The site, reportedly near a maximum-security prison, will include viewing booths for victims' families. This follows legislation passed by Israel's Knesset allowing the death penalty for certain terror offenses tried in military courts, which primarily try Palestinians. The law excludes Israeli citizens and mandates the death penalty unless exceptional circumstances apply.
