Command verb
وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ (And kill them) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ (And kill them) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
