A Palestinian family in the Gaza Strip said it has killed a relative who allegedly helped Israel track down and kill three senior Hamas militants, including one of the man's own kinsmen. In a statement, the family of Ahmed Barhoum said it had shot him in the city of Rafah after being told by a militant group that Barhoum had provided information to Israel. This, the statement said, guided an Israeli airstrike during the 2014 Gaza war that targeted the Hamas militants. The Barhoums are one of Rafah's largest families and well known for their closeness to Palestinian militant groups at odds with Israel. 'In light of our religious and moral commitment we have executed the collaborator Ahmed Barhoum after he was handed over by the resistance factions.'
