Gaza Hospital Says One Killed, Two Wounded in Israeli Strike

IDF Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth signed an order extending Israel’s death penalty law for terrorists to Palestinians in the West Bank.

During discussions on the law, legal and security officials warned against applying civilian Knesset legislation in the West Bank, particularly when it concerns people who are not Israeli citizens.

The law applies to those who committed an act “with the aim of denying the existence of the State of Israel.” In practice, this means that in the West Bank, it will apply only to Palestinians.

The law does not apply to Hamas’ Nukhba terrorists, for whom separate legislation was passed.
