Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, a threat from the Islamic terrorist group’s commander, Mahmoud al-Zahar, has surfaced on the internet.
In the old video that has gone viral in the backdrop of the terror group’s attack on Israel that killed more than 1200 people, including babies and women, the terrorist is expressing the group’s aim to bring the entire world under its law.
“Israel is only the first target. The entire planet will be under our law,” Zahar says in the video.
“We believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me,” he further says.
“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and other countries,” Zahar adds.
Several hours after the video surfaced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement reaffirming his commitment to continuing the fight against the Islamic terror outfit, saying that every member of the Hamas was a dead man.
“Hamas is Daesh (Islamic terror outfit ISIS), and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh,” Netanyahu said in a brief televised statement.
