The Islamic State (IS) has reportedly released a new propaganda video purporting to show the killing of Israeli Arab man who they said was a spy.

The video showed a young boy shooting a man identified as Said Ismail Musallam, reported the BBC.

The terror group said that 19-year-old Musallam had posed as a foreign fighter when he joined the militants in Syria. It added that he later confessed being a spy for Israel's Mossad, a claim that has been denied by Israel and by his family.

They said that Musallam went missing after travelling to Turkey as a tourist in 2014.

A few months later, an article appeared in an online magazine linked to the IS in which he confessed that he had been sent by Israel to infiltrate the group.

The veracity of the video has not been established yet.

It is latest in a series of propaganda videos released by the group in recent times. A video released by the IS last month showed the beheading of 21 Assyrian Christians.
