An Egyptian jihadist group on Thursday released a video in which it claimed responsibility for beheading four men accused of being "Israeli informants" before showing the victims' decapitated bodies. In the video, militants belonging to Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, considered the deadliest jihadist group in Egypt, say they killed the men in the restive Sinai Peninsula for assisting neighbouring Israel. The footage shows the kidnapped men confessing to assisting Israel in a drone strike in July that killed three militants near the border with the Jewish state. At the time, Egypt's military said it had killed the extremists.
