Some of this has been posted here, and some is available elsewhere, but I have not yet seen one single page put all the scattered footage together. As I find additional footage/photos (or additional footage/photos are released), I'll add them in here.

The assault on the airbase seems to have had two stages- a night-time suicide bomber vehicle and then the main assault during the daytime.

At least two soldiers were executed at the air base itself and at least one more was beheaded.

IS made sure to take plenty of photos as proof of the SAA death toll, including a corpse they claim was a high-ranking SAA officer.

Apparently they took a few corpses and severed heads back with them to display publically.

They had also captured around ~150 soldiers.
Video exists of the captured soldiers sitting in a cement building with one being interrogated and mocked for being an Alawite, the soldiers being marched through the desert in their underwear, the soldiers being executed, and the aftermath of the execution, evidently in that order. I had read in the news that they were marched through the desert, then interrogated in the building, then shot, but after looking at the video footage that makes 0 sense.

I wonder if it was the guy in tears who drove the suicide truck and would like to know what he said.
The quality of these IS videos is amazing and they now even have a stylish logo.

Thanks for putting this together in one thread.

Apparently IS executioners love shouting 'the islamic state' and having their soon-to-be-victims shout back 'it remains'.

Apparently in the video of the two SAA guys being executed after the cross in the wallet bit, the second soldier instead said 'we (the SAA) will exterminate you' instead.

But I don't speak arabic, so for all I know that's a load of BS

Thanks for the info and the montage Hanze

Must be a special guy to have his head placed in a box for display

Sorry, couldn't resist. But on a real note, is this some kind of derogatory thing? They seem to be laughing while doing it.

I think I read somewhere that that's the noise made by middle-eastern shepards when they're herding sheep.
