IS Claims Execution of Arab Israeli Accused of Spying
2015-03-11
[AnNahar] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
released a video Tuesday purporting to show a young boy executing an Arab Israeli who it claimed infiltrated the group in Syria to spy for Tel Aviv.

In the video, a youth identifying himself as 19-year-old Mohammed Said Ismail Musallam recounts how he was recruited by Israeli intelligence.

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit that is standard in videos of IS executions, he is shown kneeling in front of the boy, who appears to be no more than 12 years old, and a man standing at his side.

The man, speaking in French, issues threats against Jews in La Belle France, before the boy walks around in front of the hostage before shooting him in the forehead with a pistol.

The boy, who shouts "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic), then shoots the man four more times as he lies on the ground.

In February, Musallam's father denied in comments to Agence La Belle France-Presse the IS claim that his son was an Israeli agent.

"My son is innocent; IS accused him of working for Mossad because he tried to run away," Said Musallam said, claiming that his son had traveled to Syria to join the jihadists.

"He is absolutely not religious," Musallam said, adding that perhaps his son had been recruited through the Internet.

Dabiq, the IS online English-language magazine, said Mohammed had been tasked by Israel with gathering information on IS bases and weapons and on Paleostinians volunteering to fight for the group in Syria.

A front man for Israel's Shin Bet security service told AFP Mohammed had left home on October 24 "on his own initiative," implying that he had not been sent by Israel.

Official Israeli policy is not to comment on such allegations.

The Shin Bet front man said Mohammed traveled from Israel to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and "from there crossed to Syria and joined IS to fight for the organization."

Said Musallam said his son, an Israeli citizen, abandoned his national service in the fire department to join IS.

He said the last time they spoke by phone Mohammed was in Raqa, the self-proclaimed capital of the jihadist "caliphate" in northern Syria.

He said his son wanted to return home after having completing basic training.

He said he was very worried about his son's fate at the hands of IS, which has brutally executed many prisoners in recent months.

Asked if he could raise a ransom in exchange for his son, the father said he was a mere bus driver with no property or assets to his name.

The family lives in the Jewish settlement neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.

Said Musallam was born in the occupied West Bank but said his four children have Israeli passports.

According to Dabiq, Mohammed was recruited in Neve Yaakov by a Jewish neighbor working for the security services and was given away by his behavior and his refusal to obey a commander.
