The Daesh group in Egypt claims to have executed five men it accuses of spying for the army, which is battling the terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula.
In photos published Friday on the secure messaging app Telegram, five men presented as “spies” are seen lying face down on the ground before a militant shoots them in the back of their heads with an assault rifle.
Terrorists have killed hundreds of soldiers and policemen since the military overthrow of President Muhammad Mursi in 2013 unleashed a bloody crackdown on his supporters.
The crackdown decimated the movement and killed hundreds of his followers, and set off an insurgency that has killed hundreds of security personnel.
Most of the attacks have taken place in the Sinai Peninsula, but attacks have also been carried out in other areas including Cairo.
The Egyptian Army announced on Friday that it had killed “500 terrorists” since it launched a wide-ranging security operation in the Sinai in September 2015.
In October 2015, Daesh claimed the downing of a plane carrying Russian tourists home from Sharm El-Sheikh, which killed all 224 people on board.
