On 27 July 2005, Ra'ei Khalil al-Mughrabi from Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip was executed by hanging at Gaza central prison. He had been sentenced to death by a criminal court for murder in 2001. This is the fifth execution to be carried out since the Palestinian Authority (PA) resumed executions last month after a three year de facto moratorium.
