The new issue of ISIS' English-language online magazine Dabiq, in its foreword, talks about the horrific attacks in France in which explosions and shooting at separate entertainment sites in Paris claimed over 120 lives.
"France haughtily began executing airstrikes against the Khilafah (Caliphate). Like Russia, it was blinded by hubris (arrogance), thinking that its geographical distance from the lands of the Khilafah would protect it," the magazine says.
The terror group, known for its brutality, boasts that, "a nationwide state of emergency was declared as a result of the actions of eight men armed only with assault rifles and explosive belts."
The terror group's strategic expansion to countries like Bangladesh is also talked about at length in the magazine and interestingly an entire article has been dedicated to its activities in Bangladesh or "Bengal" as it refers to the country.
"These back-to-back attacks have caused havoc among the citizens of the crusader nations and their allies living in Bengal and forced their diplomats, tourists, and expats to limit their movements and live in a constant state of fear," it boasts.
The article titled 'The Revival of Jihad in Bengal' claims that while the ISIS is busy preparing for further attacks, the "secular" government of the Awami League continues to "twist the facts" on the ground and play a blame game.
In the magazine, the ISIS has also put out snaps of what it claims to be the bomb that downed a Russian jet last month, killing over 220 people. The photograph shows a soft drink can and two components that appear to be a detonator and a switch.
In the magazine, the ISIS slams Russia's joining of the war against it as a "rash decision of arrogance".
