The Palestinian Authority has sentenced four Palestinians to death since Tuesday, after convicting them of 1)collaborating² with Israel. The action is aimed at deterring³ informers from helping Israel assassinate⁴ Palestinian activists⁵ suspected of planning attacks against Jews.

A Palestinian security court in the West Bank city of Nablus has sentenced a Palestinian man to death by firing 2)squad⁶ for collaborating with Israel in its killing⁷ of a senior 3)activist from the militant⁸ Islamic group Hamas.

Ahmad Abu-Ayshah was found guilty of treason for helping Israeli intelligence agents kill Salah Darwaza, whose car was hit by tank shells last week in the West Bank.

Mr. Ayshah, who allegedly received about $45 from Israel each time he passed on information, begged 4)forgiveness from his 5)accusers. But Palestinians in the packed 6)courtroom demanded the 7)execution of Mr. Ayshah, a father of nine children.

He is the fourth Palestinian to be sentenced to death this week for collaborating with Israel.

Israel's policy of 8)assassinating militant Palestine Liberation Organization PLO and Islamic leaders has sparked an intense search within Palestinian society for local 9)informers, who may have helped Israel carry out targeted killings⁹.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority acted 10)swiftly in a bid to contain 11)rage and 12)suspicion, following Israel's 13)helicopter gun-ship strike that killed eight people, including two Hamas leaders in the West Bank town of Nablus.

In a strong warning to other suspected collaborators, three Palestinian men were sentenced to death by firing squad for their part in the earlier assassination¹⁰ of Thabet Thabet in Tulkarem, also in the West Bank.

A fourth was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

Mr. Thabet, was a senior member of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah 14)faction of the PLO.

Mr. Arafat must still ratify¹¹ the death sentences and although he has approved capital punishment in the past, he has 15)blocked some executions in the face of international criticism.

For such operations as the one in Nablus, Israel has often relied on Palestinian informers, who pass on sensitive information concerning the movements of activists targeted for assassination.

On Monday, in Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem in the West Bank, three masked men killed a 57-year-old Palestinian, firing bullets into his head, after 16)alleging he had been collaborating with Israel.
