New IS video purportedly shows execution of ‘Mossad agent’

A new video release by Islamic State, one of the most stylish and professionally edited clips to date, shows what the terror group claims is the execution of a Palestinian from east Jerusalem who was accused of being a Mossad agent.

The executioner in the new clip is a wee boy about 12 or 13-years old. Wearing commando fatigues, and standing near an older fighter in his 20s, the older IS fighter recites an Islamist text in French, with a heavy Arabic accent.

The boy is then shown to shoot the man from point blank, once until the captive collapses and then several more times.

Parts of the difficult-to-watch clip are filmed in stylish black and white or extreme slow motion, all in high definition. It is hard to say whether the clip shows a genuine execution.
