On February 18, ISIS released a propaganda video from their self-proclaimed Khorasan Province. The video, which is 55 minutes and 37 seconds long, is in Pashto. The video includes footage of ISIS-K attacks against the Taliban and the prior Afghan government. The video also includes prior unreleased footage of several ISIS-K attackers and showcases the December 2022 assault on the Kabul Longan Hotel, popular with Chinese nationals. The video also includes footage of assassinations and executions, including the execution of a Shiite man in Kunduz. It concludes with the beheading of alleged Taliban members and two individuals accused of being Taliban spies.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
Fact:
On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
