Hamas said it would appoint a commission of inquiry to investigate the "illegal executions" allegedly carried out by its members during Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza.

Seven Gaza residents who were accused of collaboration with Israel, were shot in public by veiled gunmen while the body of one of them was tied to a motorcycle and dragged through the streets of Gaza. Hamas' spokesman said: "The government decided to appoint a commission of inquiry to check the illegal executions that took place during the Israeli aggression." (AFP)
