ISIS release Hebrew video: “Not a single Jew will remain in Jerusalem and Palestine”
Islamic State has released a video in Hebrew promising to kill Jews, in a chilling development that pitches the terror group directly against Israel.
During the slick 16-minute propaganda video, the voice says in fluent Hebrew that “not a single Jew will remain in Jerusalem and Palestine,” before adding: “The real war has not yet started.”
The group known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh has been a worry to Israel’s security services, but its territorial concentration is in north-east Syria and Iraq, with other groups operating north of Israel, near the Golan Heights.
However, military planners will now be taking notice of the group’s first specific threat to the Israeli public, and will be studying the video for clues.
In it, a masked gunman says: “Everything that has happened so far is child’s play compared to what will happen in the near future… Imagine tens of thousands from all over the world coming to slaughter you and throw you in the garbage.”
He goes on to claim the group will break through the borders created by the 1916 Skyes-Picot Agreement.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
