Islamic State hackers have announced the group's latest focus: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

In a video posted Tuesday, Sons Caliphate Army, the hacking division of the Islamic State, takes issue with recent campaigns by Facebook and Twitter to shut down accounts by Islamic State extremists.

In the video, Sons Caliphate Army claims it has over 10,000 Facebook accounts, 150 Facebook groups and 5,000 Twitter accounts, which it says have been or will be used to distribute Islamic State content online "if Allah permits."
