A Gaza-based jihadi group has accused the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas of apostasy, according to a report by the Middle East Media Research Institute shared exclusively with JNS.
In the 28-minute video shared on the Telegram messaging app, Jaysh Al-Islam accuses the groups of adopting Western attitudes and allying with "nonbelievers" such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, while praising the Islamic State for implementing Sharia law. The Gaza jihadi group also accuses Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood of harboring democratic aspirations.

In the video, the terrorist organization further accuses Hamas of helping the British government secure the release of BBC journalist Alan Johnston, a former captive of Jaysh Al-Islam, in 2007. In the video, the group claims this decision by Hamas led to the deaths of 11 of its fighters.
The video also depicts footage of jihadi fighters who have been killed in fighting and offers information, including on training for carrying out suicide attacks.
