An ISIS spokesperson has ordered followers to ‘punish Jews, Christians, and their allies’ in a sickening call for terror.
In a notice titled O Zealous Monotheists, Abu Hudhaifa al-Ansari wrote: “Excerpts, o lions of Island… chase your prey or Jews, Christians, and their allies in the streets and roads of prescious America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them, and punish them by any means you can, Keep in mind that you are the hand of the Islamic State today, striking at the heart of the infidels, and avenging Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and all Muslim lands.
“Perfect the plans and diversify the operations: Blow up with explosives, burn with incendiary bombs, shoot with fatal bullets, cut and slaughter with sharp knives, run over and crush with buses, and the sincere will not lack a trick to bleed the hearts of Jews, Christians, and their allies, and heal the cheast of a believing people from them.”

The terror group said the attacks should be considered as revenge for Israeli attacks against Palestinians in the Gaza strip.
According to the al-Naba, “Muslim must set out to support his Muslim brothers in Palestine and elsewhere”.
The statement comes after the war in Gaza continues, with eyewitnesses reporting dozens of Israeli tanks and military vehicles entering a major residential district.
Israel says the ongoing military operation is part of its attempts to free hostages held by Hamas and to deliver a knock-out blow to the militia.
On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it had struck more than 150 targets across Gaza City in two days in support of its ground troops.

Israel retaliated in Gaza in response to the horrific Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023.
About 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage in the brutal assault that shocked the world.
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, Israeli attacks have since then killed at least 65,062 people. On Wednesday, officials said that 98 people had been killed and 385 injured by Israeli fire in the past 24 hours.
The UN has warned that an intensification of the offensive will push civilians into “even deeper catastrophe”.
