ISIS released a taped message on Saturday in which leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi threatened Israel, saying the group was getting closer by the day. The tap was posted on Twitter accounts that usually publish Islamic State statements.
“We are getting closer to you day by day, ” leader says on tape. “Do not think that we have forgotten about you. If the Islamic coalition against ISIS were truly Islamic, it would declare that it was cutting ties with its Jewish and crusader masters and that its goal was to kill the Jews and liberate Palestine, ” said al-Baghdadi in the tape.
“The Jews thought we forgot Palestine and that they had distracted us from it, ” he continued. “Not at all, Jews. We did not forget Palestine for a moment. With the help of Allah, we will not forget it… The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close. We are getting closer every day.
