Propaganda images posted online by the terror group's Egypt branch show two shackled prisoners kneeling before a masked extremist brandishing a sharp dagger.
The Foreign Office advises against all travel to north Sinai, where there are 'regular bomb attacks against government buildings and security forces', and all but essential travel to the south - with the exception of the heavily guarded Sharm el Sheikh resort area.
ISIS claimed one of the unarmed men it executed in Sinai was a 'spy for the military intelligence' services and the other was a 'spy for the army'.
The images were authenticated by US monitor, the SITE Intelligence Group.
In August, ISIS claimed to have brutally beheaded a Croatian hostage who had been held hostage in the Sinai province since July, after being kidnapped in Cairo.
Images thought to show the body of Tomislav Salopek, 30, were shared on the group's depraved social media accounts.
One gruesome image appeared to show Mr Salopek's severed head placed on his head.
The extremists are in the midst of waging a bloody insurgency which has killed hundreds of soldiers and policeman in the Sinai Peninsula since Mohamed Morsi was overthrown as president in 2013.
Only last week, two Egyptian soldiers were killed by an explosion as they tried to defuse a roadside bomb.
