The death penalty in Israel is restricted to special circumstances, and only one execution has ever taken place there, which was Adolf Eichmann, who was executed on 1 June 1962 after being abducted from Argentina in 1960 and tried in Israel for his role in the Holocaust.

That’s got to be updated, unfortunately.
