The islamic state group has posted a gruesome video online which appears to show six children killing Syrian security forces held captive by the jihadists.

Titled To the Sons of Jews, the video shows dozens of boys, who appeared to be about 10 years old, studying religious texts and learning hand-to-hand combat.

Six of the boys are chosen by their instructor to “send a message” to IS’s opponents by executing security forces held by the group.

IS’s Cubs of the Caliphate programme provides intense military and religious training to children throughout the jihadist group’s areas of control in Syria.

Although children have been typically used to man checkpoints or gather intelligence, IS has been increasingly using them to execute prisoners.

In the video, each of the six selected boys is depicted individually running through a crumbling fortress, with dramatic music and grim action shots, until he finds a captive.

Footage appears of each captive giving his name, his year of birth and describing his role in the security forces or in pro-government militia.

The boys are then each shown killing the captives.

Five are shot to death, and one has his throat slit.
The video’s introduction said it was shot in Wilayat al-Kheir, IS’s name for Syria’s eastern Deir Ezzor province.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, IS has recruited more than 1,100 children since the beginning of 2015, and more than 50 have been killed.

“What is striking is they’re not hiding it, they’re flaunting it,” Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch, told AFP earlier this year.

Decided to post the uncut version but at 4 minutes the hunting and killing begins.

Update:

The kid shown at 02.34 in the vid:

A young boy whose mother was raped and his father killed by ISIS is now being turned into a cold-blooded killing machine by the terror group, it has been claimed.

The youngster has appeared in a new ISIS propaganda video executing a person in Syria, reports Mosul Eye, a group documenting life in the Iraqi city.

In a statement, the group said: "ISIS kidnapped this child first thing when it took over Sinjar, and they raped his mother and sisters and killed his father and brother.

"He is one in a large group of children that ISIS kidnapped. ISIS turned this innocent child to a killing machine."

ISIS calls him 'Mawula' a non-muslim servant who was 'sponsored' by one of the servants.

Sinjar is heavily populated by the Yazidi, a religious minority in Syria and Iraq.

They are oppressed and terrorised by the terror group- a total of 5,270 Yazidis were abducted last year, and more than 3,000 are still in their grip, according to figures within the community.

Kurdish forces retook Sinjar from the Sunni militant group in a two-day offensive backed by air strikes from a US-led coalition.

Evidence of the horrors that took place there is now being unearthed, with a grave containing the remains of more than 70 older Yazidi women among the discoveries.

Before it was overrun by Islamic State, Sinjar and the surrounding villages were home to about 200,000 people.

They were mainly Kurdish and Arab Muslims - both Sunni and Shi'ite - as well as Christians and Yazidis, a faith that combines elements of several ancient Middle Eastern religions.

Now the town is largely deserted.

Yep, these kids are fucked for life, not that they'll be alive very long when we bomb the hell out of them...quite literally!

What does Sotoro say again about not being worried about refugee kids?

Took his long enough to aim for the headshot with that pistol.

[BOSTON_STRONG]

This is why it doesn't matter how many of them we take out, there will be another after that, and another one after that and so on.

[ouagadougou]

The video is so professionally done that it doesn't seem real.

[Nihilwulf]

As soon as they squeeze that trigger they're not kids, they're killers now...punish them with the equal severity as the adults

[Kelseecat65]

Monsters breeding monsters.

[motorZEFF]
