The United Nations has urged Israel to repeal a law making death by hanging a default sentence for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks.

Israel has rarely used the death penalty - the last person to be executed in the country was the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in 1962.
