ISIS Releases New Execution Video

zabelin/iStock/Thinkstock(BAGHDAD) — The Islamic State released a new video on Sunday showing dozens of Syrian regime forces being executed by teenage boys.
In the video, the Syrian soldiers are on their knees as the boys prepare to kill them.
The mass execution took place at an ancient Roman amphitheater in the eastern Syrian city of Palmyra.
The extremist group frequently documents its executions on videos, which are then posted to its extensive social media network.
In recent weeks the ISIS militants have posted videos of victims being slowly drowned and beheaded.
The hardline group’s penchant for public executions has evoked the condemnation of the international community and the rebel groups fighting them.
In an apparent role reversal, one rebel group recently filmed the execution of a group of ISIS fighters which had been captured.
