crossing, the main gateway into israel. —— haaretz. this is the story of the desperate choices people have to make. it is the story of how the israeli state seeks to protect its citizens. i wouldn't rule out that 9000 people are still alive, they don't even know they were about to be killed. and of those who now lives tortured by shame and regret. this is a film about palestinians to collaborate with the israeli state.

those who would work for the enemy. in may 2017, the ruling hamas government in gaza released this video to a shocked public. some palestinian men had apparently been caught working for israel in gaza. they were explaining how they we re gaza. they were explaining how they were recruited. each had been cleverly targeted according to their needs and beliefs. they were then recruited by israeli agents to kill a senior

leader of the hamas military wing. he was one of those behind a series of bombings in 2002, killing and wounding israeli citizens. he received a nine life sentences for murder. bartee was released in a controversial prisoner exchange in 2011. -- but controversial prisoner exchange in 2011. —— but he was. mahmoud is one of the founders of hamas. he had known him for years. but somebody seemed to think that's

fuqaha was still active. this man received his instructions on the 24th of march, 2017. he outlined the plan in the hamas confessional video. hamas officials say that this is ashraf, caught on cctv as he walks past the hospital, into the yard. and towards his target's parking lot. fuqaha had spent a family day on the beach. he was alone in his car. the gunman followed him, knocked on his window, and shot him five times. ashraf‘sjob

knocked on his window, and shot him five times. ashraf‘s job was done. hamas had lost one of its key assets, and there was an out peering= assets, and{greases—eeegtrgeurmgal grief at fuqaha's funeral. shoot of grief at fuqaha's funeral. shoot —— $0011 of grief at fuqaha's funeral. shoot —— soon after, ashraf and his suspected accomplices were arrested. in their confessions, they warned the audience not to fall for israeli recruiters. days after these confessions were filmed, all three men were executed as traitors, and as a warning to others. we cannot verify the testimonies in the video. hamas would not share there evidence. but collaborating with israel is not

such a rare thing here. working for israel, the security forces, is a matter of taboo here among palestinians. i am on my way to a prison to speak to an inmate who knows able to bow to the subject. —— knows able to bow to the subject. —— knows able to bow to the subject. —— knows a lot about. according to the guards at this palestinian jail, a quarter of the inmates are convicted collaborators. this inmate runs a support group for prisoners who have worked for the israeli state. ivory and told me that israeli

recruiters prey on the needs of people in gaza. —— ibrahim told me. the israeli authorities told us they do not try to recruit people and is vulnerable situations. —— in these vulnerable situations. —— in these vulnerable situations. —— in these vulnerable situations. most of those in prison for collaboration have been prosecuted for simply giving information to the israelis. but ashraf, and others convicted of killing mazen fuqaha, went much further. hamas says they committed murder. what could make a palestinian like ashraf kill a leading hamas militant? and how much the israeli security forces have found and recruited such a man. the fuqaha murder confession was not a first—time ashraf was noticed. he was active in the violence which are daft attempt on —— hamas took power here in 2007. —— which erupted after

hamas to power. it turned out that ashraf was a member of the hamas security forces. he was heavily involved in fighting against hamas opponents. in 2007, he started to adopt more radical views. in 2007, ashraf kidnapped and murdered the owner of a christian bookshop in gaza. when his body was recovered, it was disfigured by multiple stab wounds and gunshot wounds. ashraf was a brutal killer. i wanted to find somebody who could explain his motivation. jihadist two are not welcomed hereby hamas authorities in gaza, but i have managed to contact one of them who is very influential in these circles. —— jihadists are not. i hope he will be able to tell me more

about ashraf. did ashraf share his plans with other radicals here? jihadists had been arrested in gaza, and even killed. the hamas authorities had attacked mosques. was ashraf motivated by revenge? i am hoping my contact will give me some answers. so, i met him. he didn't want to be filmed. but he told me very interesting stuff. ashraf approached the jihadists, claiming he was a member of the so—called islamic state, at the jihadists rejected him. as a loner, ashraf might have been easier to control. but would the israeli security forces really recruit a jihadist? a man dedicated to the violent destruction of israel? it seemed an extraordinary risk. vc

funds in nearby tel aviv feels like a different world from gaza. —— the seafront in nearby tel aviv. these swimmers, joggers and holidaymakers seem to take their safety and protection for granted. but i have come to meet a man whose job was to guarantee this protection. forfive yea rs, guarantee this protection. forfive years, he was the director of shinbet, israel's secretive internal security services. he now heads the foreign affairs and defence committee of the israeli parliament, the knesset. during those three yea rs, the knesset. during those three years, 2001, 2002 and 2003, we have lost 900 people. mainly civilians. mainly in suicide bombings. in many cases we have succeeded in foiling attacks. so the number of people

getting killed as 900, then i wouldn't rule out that 9000 people, if not more, are still alive, they don't even know that they were about to be killed. i asked him how easy it was to recruit reliable informers. when you are interested in somebody you tried to —— try to map, will tie his skills? what are his weaknesses? what is his usefulness? 0therwise his weaknesses? what is his usefulness? otherwise you don't need him, you can take another one. would you recruit a jihadist to kill a hamas operative? everything is possible in the fight against terrorism. everything. there is one very strong principle in my eyes. i always used to tell it to my people. if you decide to become a terrorist, you'd better no that's the israeli

shinbet, military, police, never mind, itany shinbet, military, police, never mind, it any israeli, in one way or another, you get to yourself in prison, or your grave in the cemetery. ina tel in a tel aviv park, i am eating a reserve officer from israeli military intelligence. we are protecting his identity, and he has to be careful about what he says, in order to avoid arrest. the role of his unit was to recruit informers among the palestinian population, in places like gaza. and that meant mass covert monitoring. phones, e—mailand mass covert monitoring. phones, e—mail and social media. translation: people's visor like an open book for us. we know so much

about people's personal lives. the romantic affairs, their sexual affairs, their health problems, everything. so, if you want to gain co—operation from people, it is obviously best if we can blackmail this person. in some basic causes of arabic in the unit, you learn specific words, like different synonyms for homosexual in arabic. so you will tell this guy, let's say, for instance, you are luti, in order to break him? why? translation: that is a possible course of action, yes. you put this person in a lose lose situation. either way, his life is a great risk. what it is notjust sexual orientation that makes people targets. if someone's daughter has cancer, for example, and he wants to get treatment in one of the israeli

hospitals, which is known to have better treatment than palestinian hospitals, and if we know about it, maybe we can stop him and tell him, ok, you can have this, but only if you co—operate. this woman knows all about this coercion. today, she is with her grandchildren. a year ago, their mother needed urgent treatment for cancer. the israeli authorities granted her permission to go to a hospital injerusalem. granted her permission to go to a hospital in jerusalem. it granted her permission to go to a hospital injerusalem. it was six o'clock and barely light went she arrived here at the haaretz crossing one morning injanuary 2017. the officers wanted information

about a man married to khaloud's cousin. she said he was an olive tree farm. —— farmer. she says her daughter was not able to give any information about the man. but the israeli authorities did not

allow khaloud to board the bus. three weeks later, waca three died. —— khaloud died. the israeli authorities told us that entry to israel is not conditional on providing information or cooperation, and they denied any irregularities in their dealings with khaloud. some palestinians work with israel because they genuinely believe this is the right way to protect their own people. i have come to a tiny village in the far south of israel. it is the home of a bedouin community of around 20 families that we re community of around 20 families that were moved from gaza, where they had devoted their lives to working with the israeli state. hassanis

hassan is a community leader here, a role he inherited from his father, a bedouin shake from the sinai desert. his father sided with the israeli state after the nation was defeated in the 1967 arab—israeli war, and israel occupied his land. but is rarely counterterror operations have also been far more aggressive —— israeli. 0ver operations have also been far more aggressive —— israeli. over the last 15 years, more than 300 palestinian militants have been targeted and killed in gaza. how often have collaborators helped in these killings? in a side street, in a provincial israeli town, i found someone provincial israeli town, i found someone who might be able to tell me. we have to protect his identity. i could now understand why this man wa nted i could now understand why this man wanted his identity concealed. he told me he had worked in gaza for

the israelis from the age of 17. but that was before he had to get out. this bird told me his testimony had insured many hamas cellmates remained behind cars for decades, but it has taken its toll. —— behind bars. normality, more than anything, is what people in gaza crave. but for most here, it is out of reach. co nsta nt most here, it is out of reach. constant scrutiny, suspicion and human need mean collaboration will keep shaping and poisoning lives, and some will continue to work for the enemy. hello there.

very different feel to the weather this coming weekend. looks like we'll see some very mild conditions for most of us, compared to what we had last weekend. a big area of low pressure moving up from the south—west, feeding in this mild air, but also a lot of cloud, and also quite a lot of rain, too. rains continue to move northwards during the overnight period. not really reaching the northern half of scotland, so here it will remain quite chilly. but much milder airfeeding into england and wales, and by saturday morning, we're looking at 10—11 degrees the overnight low here. whereas further north, again, cold across central and northern scotland, with some frost to start to the day. the weekend is looking mild, both saturday and sunday, for all of us, that mild air spreading to scotland as well. there will be a lot of rain at times, and it will be quite cloudy. but, given some sunshine, that's where you really will feel the mild weather.

0ne weather front moving northwards will be followed by another one which will follow later in the day. so quite a messy picture to start saturday. the rain will be lying across northern ireland, northern england, pushing north into scotland. a little bit of snow over high ground there, as it encounters the cold air. central parts of the country will see a slice of dry weather, before this next band of showery rain pushes up from the south. some of this could be quite heavy. for 0rkney and shetland here, it will be a cool day. temperatures in single figures, with some sunshine. same, too, across the far north to scotland. but through the afternoon, it will be turning much wetter for the scottish mainland, into northern ireland, and for northern england as well. this showery band of rain will continue to move north. but notice the temperatures — 111—15 degrees, you could even see 16 celsius, given some prolonged sunny spells. now, the drier weather across the south—west will continue to advance northwards during saturday night, so actually not a bad end to the night on saturday. into sunday, though, it looks like it'll be a bit of a cloudy, damp start.

but there will be some brightness across the northern half of the country. further south, we'll start to see some showers developing. some of them could be quite heavy, maybe even thundery. again, it's going to be mild. 12—13 degrees in the south, but even for scotland, double—figure values there, ten or 11 celsius. for lerwick, though, still in low single figures. this is the pressure chart into monday. this area of pressure will bring some showery rain to the southern half of the country, fairly strong winds at times, too. so some heavy rain for england and wales. showery bursts of rain. a little bit of brightness moving into the afternoon. the best of the dry and bright weather will be for northern ireland and also for parts of scotland. temperature—wise, again on the mild side, double figures for most, with a high of 12 or 13 across the south. set to stay mild for most of the week. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: america's national rifle association takes legal action against new gun legislation in the state of florida. donald trump strikes a positive tone
