Jerusalem ( CNN ) A newly released ISIS video shows a child shooting a man the group claims is an Israeli spy . The video identifies the man as 19-year-old Mohamed Said Ismail Musallam , an Israeli citizen of Palestinian descent . In the video , ISIS shows Musallam 's Israeli passport and claims he 's an agent sent to infiltrate the group . The 19-year-old 's family told CNN Tuesday that he had no ties with the Mossad , Israel 's spy agency , and had , in fact , been recruited by ISIS . `` Mohamed told me and his brother that ISIS took him , '' according to Said Musallam , his father . `` They sent him money through the Western Union . They said you will have girls , money , cars , villas , paradise , but afterwords he discovered that there is nothing . '' It was n't long before Musallam 's family members did n't recognize him when they talked to him on Skype . The man they knew as a kind and funny brother and son who was once a volunteer firefighter had grown a long beard and was carrying a rifle . His father tried to help him get home , sending him money and even enlisting the Red Cross . But his son never made it back to Israel . About a month ago , Said Musallam said , he was told his son was taken by ISIS when he was on his way back and trying to cross the border . A video posted Tuesday on ISIS-affiliated social media accounts shows a man who appears to be Musallam on his knees , wearing an orange jumpsuit . An adult ISIS fighter and a child -- both in fatigues -- stand behind him . The adult , speaking French , gives a command to the child to go forward with the killing . The child steps in front of the man and raises what appears to be a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and shoots Musallam in the forehead . The man immediately falls forward to the ground . The child appears to then fire at least two more shots into the body . Ahmad Musallam said he 'd seen the video of his brother and was devastated by his death . `` I used to take care of him and babysit him when Mom went to work , '' he said , crying . `` Mohamed is not a brother . He is a son . '' But he refuses to show the video to his parents , who still ca n't believe their son is dead . An issue last month of ISIS ' English-language propaganda magazine , Dabiq , included a purported interview with Musallam and described his alleged work for the Israeli spy agency . In the ISIS video , Musallam seems to be reading what appears to be a prepared confession , saying he is an Israeli intelligence agent working for Mossad , sent to infiltrate ISIS . Musallam 's family members said they believe he was coerced in the video , forced to lie about ties to Israeli intelligence . `` Mohamed is not an agent . Mohamed does n't have a shekel . If he was an agent he would have lived a beautiful life , '' his mother , Hind Musallam , said . `` We could have been living a different life and I would not be working cleaning houses so we can live . '' This is n't the first time ISIS has used children to drive home its message . An ISIS propaganda video released in January -- one that CNN could not independently verify -- shows a boy with a pistol apparently shooting two men in the back of the head . The boy then stands over one of the bodies , fires two more times , and later raises his pistol high . Last August , a photo posted to Twitter from an ISIS stronghold showed a 7-year-old boy holding a man 's severed head and his father 's words , `` That 's my boy . '' ISIS has featured children as fighters before , calling them the `` cubs of the caliphate '' ( the adult jihadis call each other `` lions '' ) and has encouraged foreign fighters to bring their families . It has taken over schools to indoctrinate children . Human Rights Watch says ISIS and other extremist groups `` have specifically recruited children through free schooling campaigns that include weapons training and have given them dangerous tasks , including suicide bombing missions .
