A group will defect from the best faction of the Muslims, and the closer of the two parties will kill them.
يَقْتُلُهُم — it will kill them. This is a present-tense verb with a built-in 'he/it' subject and an attached 'them' as object, so one word says 'will kill them'. The present shape carries a future sense, and its real subject is named next.
