ISIS Releases Video Showing Child Executing ‘Israeli Spy’

iStock/Thinkstock(JERUSALEM) — The Islamic State has released another brutal execution video.
This time, the executor is a boy who looks no more than perhaps 12 or 13 years old; he shoots the man at close range in the head several times.
The victim? An Israeli-Arab man accused of being an “Israeli Mossad agent.”
ISIS claims Israeli-Arab Muhammad Musallam worked for the Mossad, but his father Said told Army Radio there was no way his son was an Israeli spy. He called the accusation a “fabrication” and insisted the Islamic State murdered his son because he tried to defect from the terror group.
Muhammed left his home in Jerusalem late last year for Syria, but his father said he contacted the family not long after to say he’d made a mistake and wanted to come home.
When the phone rang a few weeks later, Said said he learned his son tried to flee, was caught at a Turkish checkpoint and thrown in an ISIS jail.
