Daesh in the Holy Land

He goes by the nom de guerre Abu Kassam, and he claims to be the one of the leaders of the Islamic State's branch in Israel. A branch with active members in 'The Triangle' and in Arab-Israeli towns in the northern part of the country. Yesterday he gave a televised interview to Israel's Channel 10. Among his threats: "In eight years we're in Jerusalem. The IDF will not be able to do anything to us".
