Islamic State announces ‘new phase’ of attacks mainly targeting Israel

Audio message from spokesman says focus is now on ‘fighting the Jews and reclaiming what they have stolen from the Muslims’; urges sabotage of Trump peace plan

The Islamic State group vowed Monday to shift its focus from the remnants of its “caliphate” toward making Israel the main target of its attacks. It also called to sabotage a peace plan US President Donald Trump is due to unveil, according to a purported audio message from its spokesman.

Abu Hamza al-Quraishi said IS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi encourages the group’s fighters to launch “a new phase” and vowed major operations against Israel.

“The eyes of the soldiers of the caliphate, wherever they are, are still on Jerusalem,” the spokesman said in the 37-minute message.

“And in the coming days, God willing, you will see what harms you and what will make you forget the horrors you have seen,” he said, apparently threatening attacks of unprecedented scope.

The spokesman said IS leader Quraishi was “determined, and has encouraged his mujahideen brothers in all provinces, and Muslims across the world,” to launch “a new phase.”

That new focus “is fighting the Jews and reclaiming what they have stolen from the Muslims, and this cannot be reclaimed except through fighting,” he said.

The IS spokesman made a direct reference to the “Trump plan,” which has already been rejected by the Palestinians, who ironically call it the “Deal of the Century” in reference to Trump’s purported name for it.

“To Muslims in Palestine and across the world… be the warhead in fighting Jews and foil the so-called Deal of the Century,” Abu Hamza al-Quraishi said.

Let’ them find out the hard way, I guess. I doubt they’d listen anyways.

They certainly seem Hell-bent, literally, on their evil.

That's because they still work for Iran, which just lost the leader of its Al-Quds terrorism ops.

To get your @zz handed to you requires your being alive. I doubt IDF allows jihadis that luxury.

Some people never learn....

This is bizarre, as they both were on the anti-Assad side, IIRC.

Yes, since Israel is the only Country ISIS has apologized to for accidentally killing some IDF in the Golan, and Israel has treated wounded ISIS members in its hospitals.

“That’s because they still work for Iran”

My first impression was that ISIS was likely hiring their trigger-pullers out to raise money. Attacking Israel is just where the market demand from State-sponsor customers existed.

Maybe Turkey or Qatar are paying for some.

Would the assets used on Suleimani the Magnificent been better spent on $0R0$?

Until the Hamas power mad arabs burn up their “constitution” Israel and anyone allied with Israel will be at war. Hudna’s are merely rearming and a time to turn their dead to martyrs to foment more hatred.
