A new video has surfaced of Hamas militants executing members of a radical Islamic group that is said to be loyal to Al Qaeda, FOX News has learned.
The video, shot by cell phone, was reportedly recorded August 15, when the group’s leader, Abdel Latif Moussa, delivered a Friday sermon declaring Gaza to be an Islamic emirate loyal to Osama bin Laden. That sparked the Hamas crackdown.
In the video, Hamas figures are seen executing members of the new group, known as Jund Ansar Allah (Warriors of God). At the end of the clash, a member of the faction detonated a suicide belt that killed Moussa and 24 others, including civilians.
The new organization is made up of defectors from Hamas and other Gazan Islamic groups. Its leaders believe that Hamas hasn’t been aggressive enough in confronting Israel.
The faction’s supporters have vowed to take revenge.
