Forcing Israel to leave Hamas in place in Rafah undermines Israeli, Egyptian, Jordanian, and American security interests.

 Al-Ansari proceeded to reach out to “lone wolves” on Telegram, urging them to “target Christians and Jewish people, especially in the US, Europe, and Israel during the holy month of Ramadan.”

Last week four gunmen stormed the Crocus City Hall, an entertainment hub on the outskirts of Moscow, where a concert was about to begin. the Islamic State – Khorasan province claimed responsibility.

Four suspected gunmen behind the deadliest attack in Russia in 20 years are Tajik citizens. They have been arrested along with seven other suspects.

Putin's utter disregard for what jihadism represents was laid bare last November when Moscow officially hosted a Hamas delegation headed by Mousa Abu Marzuk.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the massacre and US officials say they have intelligence showing it was carried out by the network's Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan.

The terror attack, which is the worst Russia has seen in years, has led to the authority's torture of the terrorists prior to their court hearings, as Russia seeks to lay blame on Ukraine.

When asked if the assault represented an intelligence service failure, the Kremlin said that Russia's standoff with the West meant intelligence-sharing was not happening in the way it used to.

Russia on Monday cast doubt on assertions by the United States that the Islamic State militant group was responsible for a gun attack on a concert hall outside Moscow that killed 137 people.

US-led forces invaded Iraq and toppled former leader Saddam Hussein in 2003, withdrawing in 2011 but then returning in 2014 to fight Islamic State as part of an international coalition.
