Alleged ISIS Propaganda Video Shows Young Boy Executing ‘Israeli Spy’

A new video purportedly from ISIS depicts a young boy executing a man accused of being an Israeli spy.

The man, an Israeli Arab named Muhammad Musallam, was accused of being a Mossad spy, which he confesses to in the video. Acsording to Israeli officials, Musallam had joined ISIS in 2013 after disappearing on a trip to Turkey. The Jerusalem Post reports that both Israel and his family deny the allegations.

The video, published by the group’s Furqan media outlet, showed Musallam sitting in a room wearing an orange jumpsuit, talking about how he had been recruited and trained by the Israeli intelligence service. He said his father and elder brother had encouraged him.

After that, it showed Musallam being escorted to a field and executed by a boy, described by an older, French-speaking fighter as one of the “cubs of the caliphate”.
