The bodies of two men accused of spying for Israel were purportedly dragged through alleyways before being hung up from a pylon by a violent mob Friday night in the West Bank.
Armed Palestinian militants fatally shot the two men in the city of Tulkarm. According to the Telegraph, a Palestinian journalist who provided details about the incident anonymously reported the two men were trampled on before being hung from an electrical tower.
The men were allegedly put in a waste bin after being hung up.

Just to be clear about who the two men were:
No, they are two Palestinians who where accused by Hamas in the West Bank for collaborating with Israel a few weeks ago.

Social media users shared photos and video footage of the horrific event. Hundreds of Palestinians can be seen gathered around the bodies, their phones documenting the awful event. They appear to be feeling either gleeful or vindicated.
Now you know why many Palestinians cheer when anyone even remotely aligned with Israel is harmed. They are terrified of being accused of sympathizing with the Jews, lest they be the next one hanging from a pylon.
The two men were allegedly suspected of assisting Israeli security officials in carrying out an operation earlier this month against Hamas terrorists. According to the article, the two guys were in their late twenties and early thirties.
The Tulkarm Brigades issued a statement asserting “no immunity for any informant or traitor,” adding, “are on the lookout for him, and we will hold him accountable.”
As a result, one of the informant’s families attempted to distance themselves, claiming that they had severed ties with the family member “without regret.” This was after the man allegedly admitted to cooperating with Israeli security personnel and supplied information about his operations in the area.
Family members said, “We affirm our complete innocence, and we won’t allow anyone to blame us for his guilt.” At this point in time, we don’t know if they were harmed or not.
The local terror group responsible for the executions appears to be linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed wing of the secular nationalist Fatah party.
The group issued a statement after the two men were murdered, claiming, “We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves,” according to the Times of Israel.
Tensions in the West Bank have only risen since Hamas’ terrorist strikes in southern Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,400 people and took another 240 as hostages to Gaza. The incident was the most lethal in Israeli history, and Gaza is currently paying a heavy price.
