A Hamas court ordered that the two men, from Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, be hanged.
Reports did not say when the sentence will be carried out. Two other men were sentenced to hard labor, also for collaborating with Israel.
The sentences came as a Palestinian Authority court in the West Bank city of Bethlehem sentenced a man to 15 years in prison for attempting to sell land to Jewish Israelis.

Hamas authorities have held public executions in the past of those it accuses of collaborating with Israel.
The PA, based in the West Bank, has long criticized rivals Hamas for carrying out executions without the approval of PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
According to Palestinian law, the PA president must approve the enforcement of any death sentence. Since 2006, Abbas has not given his official blessing for the implementation of a single execution.
According to B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, Hamas has sentenced 130 people to death since 2007 and has executed 25 people. With the two fresh sentences, Hamas has sentenced seven people to death this year.
The PA has not executed anyone since 2005, when five people were put to death.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have committed violent, daily attacks against Palestinian villages and residents harvesting their olive trees over the past week.
The attacks, which include beatings of farmers and destruction of trees, preceded the formal start of the olive harvest season on October 12 in the occupied West Bank, but intensified in number over the past week.
While settler attacks are a frequent, near-daily reality for Palestinian villages, the number and intensity of attacks increase during the olive harvest season which runs until November, as settlers target families working on their lands.
On October 12, settlers uprooted 900 olive and apricot saplings, and stole olive crops in the village of Sebastia, north of Nablus. A further 70 olive trees were destroyed in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
In Awarta, east of Nablus, settlers chopped down dozens of olive trees on October 13 and sprayed them with chemicals. They also destroyed some 70 olive, fruit and vegetable trees in al-Tuwani south of Hebron, and slashed tyres, and vandalised cars and walls in the village of Marda near Salfit.

Those “Palestinians” were Israeli Mossad agents

You is an idiot
FSA and Hamas are Turkish-backed groups.
Fsa 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩💩💩
Thats all been patched up now. You are about 1 year behind with your “news”. Soleimani has re-cemented Assad and Hamas ties. Hamas has realised that help and hope will come from Iran’s axis of resistance, not from Israeli backed “Sunni” regimes or their terror proxies. Hamas’ may war against Israel was a strategic war – a Test of israel’s missile defence shield on behalf of Iran and Israel failed miserably. Israel’s final days are literally months away – if it decides to attack Iran first or a year or two if it doesn’t – by then, Iran will start and end the war
So it means that Iran is not against Muslim Brotherhood like Assad is. That’s why Assad supports Sisi and Haftar while Iran supports Morsi and Sarraj.
Those Israelis in the picture don’t look Ashkenazi. So they have the right to the land!
