CAIRO (Reuters) – Islamic State insurgents
threatened on Tuesday to turn the Gaza Strip into another of their
Middle East fiefdoms, accusing Hamas, the organisation that rules the
Palestinian territory, of being insufficiently stringent about religious
enforcement.
The video statement, issued from an Islamic State
stronghold in Syria, was a rare public challenge to Hamas, which has
been cracking down on jihadis in Gaza who oppose its truces with Israel
and reconciliation with the U.S.-backed rival Palestinian faction Fatah.
“We will uproot the state of the Jews (Israel) and you
and Fatah, and all of the secularists are nothing and you will be
over-run by our creeping multitudes,” said a masked Islamic State member
in the message addressed to the “tyrants of Hamas”.
