00:11Daesh insurgents threaten to turn the Gaza Strip into another of their Middle East fiefdoms,

00:16accusing Hamas, the organization that rules the Palestinian Territory, of not being stringent

00:21enough about religious enforcement. The video statement, issued from a Daesh stronghold

00:26in Syria, was a rare public challenge to Hamas, which has been cracking down on radical Islamists

00:32in Gaza, who oppose its truce with Israel and reconciliation with the US-backed rival

00:38Palestinian faction, Fatah.

00:40With effect from August 1, 2015, no new residence visas or renewal of existing visa applications
