The video promised to launch “the biggest operation ever against you”. The terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks, which rippled across the French capital Friday night. Last August, the group declared “full-scale cyber war” against the Islamic State, saying it would combat the terrorist network’s influence on social media.

The group says it has identified more than 39,000 suspected ISIS profiles and reported them to Twitter.
The hacker group Anonymous is allegedly planning to take on ISIS in a massive cyber war. Previously, after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Anonymous had exposed thousands of ISIS Twitter accounts in #OpISIS.
Anonymous has declared war on Isis in response to the attacks in Paris that claimed 129 lives.
It isn’t the first time Anonymous has issued such stern warning against the terror group. The attack has killed more than 130 people and more than 400 people have been injured.
In a written statement also sent out today and aimed at IS, the group said: “We are coming to get you, we will be hitting you harder than ever”.
On November 14, a message to ISIS credited to an Anonymous spokesman was posted to Pastebin, giving a very similar message to the video, but in English.
If Anonymous’ previous history of attacking the Islamic State is anything to go by, expect them to be affective.
Anonymous has reminded the world that it’s been at war with ISIS for “quite a few time already”, and the announcement echoes the action taken against Islamic State following the Charlie Hebdo massacre in January 2015.

It later boasted about shutting down a French website associated with extremists and helping get 1,500 IS-supporting Twitter and Facebook accounts off line.
