ISIS Declares War On Palestine’s Hamas

Fact checked

The Egyptian branch of ISIS has released a new video declaring war on the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement based in Gaza.

The brutal propaganda video, which was released on Wednesday, purports to show the execution of a man who ISIS claim cooperated with the armed wing of Hamas.

The 22 minute video cited Hamas’ crackdown on jihadist groups in Gaza and their failure to prevent the U.S. declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as reasons for attacking the group.

In the video one of the terrorists said: “Never surrender to them. Use explosives, silenced pistols and sticky bombs. Bomb their courts and their security locations, for these are the pillars of tyranny that prop up its throne”

Hamas spokesperson Salah Bardawil slammed the ISIS video on Thursday, calling it a “a Zionist production in which Arab tools participate to distort the resistance.”

Analysts say this latest escalation has the potential to destabilize an already fragile security situation in Gaza

Press TV reports: The Egyptian wing of Daesh, known as the Sinai Province, is notorious for its brutal massacres, including the Sinai 2015 plane crash which killed 224 passengers and mass killing of over 300 people at a Sufi mosque in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the deadliest attack in modern Egyptian history.

The video comes as Hamas has been cooperating with Egyptian security forces to restore stability to Sinai, which borders Gaza.

In October, the Palestinian resistance movement arrested four senior Daesh terrorists in Sinai.

In July 2015, Daesh released a video saying that it would overthrow Hamas “tyrants” for their perceived lack of religious rulings in Gaza.

Takfiri groups such as Daesh have never attacked Israel despite operating close to Syria’s borders with the occupied Palestinian territories. Israel is widely believed to be supporting terrorists in Syria by launching airstrikes against various targets there from time to time.

Meanwhile, the US and its allies, which have been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria, have repeatedly been accused of providing logistic support and air cover for Daesh terrorists.

Daesh, however, lost all the territory under its control in Syria and Iraq late last year.
