The death penalty in the Gaza Strip is decided based on a mixture of Islamic law and secular (non-religious) law. Some of the secular law is from British when the places now within Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory were both in Mandatory Palestine. This includes the Penal Law No. 74 approved in 1936.[1]
As of December 2018, the courts of the Gaza Strip had issued 186 death sentences, 128 of which were after 2007.[2]
