ISIL terrorist group claims to have executed five men allegedly accused of assisting the Egyptian army which is battling the Takfiri group in the country’s restive Sinai Province.
In a series of photos released on the messaging application of Telegram, five men introduced as army “elements” are seen lying face down on the ground before a militant shoots them in the back of their heads with a rifle.
The location of the shot video, reported by US-based the SITE Intelligence Group that tracks terrorists’ online activities, is not specified and still remains undisclosed.
The killings seem to have occurred after the Egyptian army announced Friday that it had killed “500 terrorists” since the start of a wide-ranging security operation in Sinai in September 2015.
Militants have slain hundreds of soldiers and police officers in the sparsely-populated Sinai Peninsula over the past several years.
