A sombre Malcolm Turnbull said that as the allied forces take back Daesh’s territory, “it will resort to terrorist activities outside the Middle East”.

“We’ve ... seen overnight a call by Daesh or ISIL for lone wolf terrorist attacks in Australia,” he said.

“Australians can be assured that we have the finest security, intelligence, police forces in the world and we are providing them ... with the laws they need and the resources they need to keep us safe.”

Islamic State has called on terrorists to attack Bondi Beach, the Opera House and the MCG in a vile rant in the first edition of its new propaganda magazine Rumiyah.

The terrorist group is singling out Australia’s iconic sites because, it claims, terrorist Ezzit Raad who was jailed in 2005 for plotting to blow up the MCG, has been killed in Syria.

“So here before you are the doors of jihad – unhinged, and in their lands. Light the ground beneath them aflame and scorch them with terror,” the four-page diatribe reads.

“Kill them on the streets of Brunswick, Broadmeadows, Bankstown, and Bondi. Kill them at the MCG, the SCG, the Opera House, and even in their backyards. Stab them, shoot them, poison them, and run them down with your vehicles.

The warning comes as IS says accused Australian terrorist Ezzit Raad was killed fighting in Syria.

“Kill them wherever you find them until the hollowness of their arrogance is filled with terror and they find themselves on their knees with their backs broken under the weight of regret for having waged a war against the believers, and by Allah’s will, and then through your sacrifices, this Ummah will be victorious.”

Bondi Beach was also specifically named in the warning.

Raad fled to Syria in 2013, after his release from prison, where he played a role in recruiting others to join IS and impressed the organisation in training and frontline jobs.

The article denounces Australia as “a land cloaked in darkness and corrupted by kufr, fornication and all forms of vice”.

It states Raad left prison feeling “more emboldened and steadfast upon his path”, leaving his wife and four children behind in Australian to join IS, only to die when a piece of shrapnel “tore his chest open” near the town of Manbij in the country’s north recently
