More Gazans are Fighting and Dying for ISIS
The Islamic State (ISIS) may be gaining a foothold in the Gaza Strip, as reports continue to emerge of Gazans joining the terror regime to fight in Syria and Iraq.
A number of Gaza residents have died in recent months while fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq, reports Vocativ. The New York-based news agency cites Islamic State web forums and social media accounts in reporting that the Gazans recently killed were part of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis and Ansar al-Dawla al-Islamia, Sinai-based affiliates of ISIS. Traveling to Iraq as official representatives of those groups, the men fought in Syria alongside the terror group.
Muhammad Naif al-Qarinawi, an engineer from the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, fought and died for ISIS under the nom-de-guerre Abi al-Bara al-Ghazi. Recruited by ISIS in Syria for his expertise in explosives engineering, Al-Bara reportedly died near Homs on July 26 during an ISIS military operation against Syrian forces at the Shaer gas field. The Ansar al-Dawlas groups Twitter account posted a short eulogy for al-Bara.
Ali Samir Abu al-Ainin came from the Gaza town of Rafah, near the Egyptian border, and also died on July 26 in Samara, Iraq as a representative of the Beit al-Maqdis group. ISIS is believed to be eyeing Samara as its next objective in its attempted push south toward Baghdad.
