The ISIS terrorist group has released a video declaring war on the Palestinian militant organization Hamas.
In the video, an ISIS member can be seen calling Hamas as apostates before executing a member of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigade, the militant arm of Hamas.The speaker also makes threats "to the Jews." The ISIS member doesn't make statements directly to Israel, but rather seeks to threaten an entire ethno-religion. The ISIS command-area in question is the Wilayet Sinai, based in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt on the border with Gaza. It is common for ISIS to declare war on other jihadist groups, like Hamas, the Taliban in Afghanistan or the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front in Syria.
ISIS have never declared war on Israel, and in one instance, apologized to Israel when its forces attacked Israel on the Syria-Israel border.In an unrelated event, the leader of Hezbollah, Nasrallah, announced yesterday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad refuses to communicate with Hamas because of their betrayal on Syria.

Comment: The 22-minute video was
published by Israeli intel op "SITE Intelligence":
[It] begins with footage of US President Donald Trump's December 6 announcement on Jerusalem. The propaganda footage, initially released Wednesday, culminates in the execution of a former IS member pictured on his knees in an orange jumpsuit.
The victim in the video, referred to as Musa Abu Zamat, is accused by his terrorist captors of smuggling weapons to Hamas' military wing from Egypt. An IS preacher, named as Abu Kazem al-Maqdisi, originally from Gaza himself, calls on IS followers to attack Hamas sites and courthouses in the Gaza Strip. Hamas is also blamed for its cooperation with Western countries and fighting Jews only in Israel. Minutes later the captor is executed by a shot to the head. The terrorist who carried out the execution was identified in news reports as being Muhammad al-Dajani, a former member of Hamas' military branch in Gaza.
So an ex-Hamas member kills an ex-ISIS member for supporting Hamas, because Hamas only attacks Jews in Israel, while ISIS doesn't attack Jews anywhere and gets along just fine with Israel... Yep, makes total sense. Oh, and the video was released by what is essentially an arm of Israeli intelligence.
