Islamic State has issued death threats to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in a new 25-minute video. The video mocks the social media websites' attempts to block terrorist content from their platforms.

In the video, ISIS claims they are fighting against the efforts by these social media giants. The video includes a direct threat to the tech entrepreneurs, branding them allies of the American "Crusader government".

Pictures of Zuckerberg and Dorsey can be seen being blasted with a hail of bullets in the amateur footage.

The video, titled ‘Flames of the Supporters’ and released by a group calling themselves "the sons of the Caliphate army", ends with a direct threat to the two men.

A slide toward the end of the video reads, in English: "To Mark and Jack, founders of Twitter and Facebook and to their Crusader government. You announce daily that you suspended many of our accounts and to you we say: is that all you can do? you are not in our league. If you close one account we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete you (sic) sites, #Sons_Caliphate_Army".

In a separate slide, they also claim to have hacked more than 10,000 Facebook accounts, 150 Facebook groups, and more than 5,000 Twitter accounts.
