Barbaric ISIS jihadis behead five soldiers before leaving their severed heads on pikes

Risingbd Desk: The latest in a series of vulgar productions by the media arm of the depraved Daesh terror group shows the killing of men branded `spies`.

The soldiers had opposed the barbaric jihadis brutal regime in Syria.

The horrifying video starts with a montage of clips showing explosive battle scenes, gun-toting jihadists and seemingly ordinary citizens living in territory under ISIS control.

And it ends in gruesome killings as the five men are decapitated in Jihadi John-style executions.

Each man kneels in the desert in a prison jumpsuit while a man in black stands above him with a knife.

Local reports say the men were members of the New Syrian Army, an American-backed Syrian rebel faction currently fighting against ISIS.

The 21-minute-long video has been released less than 24 hours after an assault was launched on a town held by ISIS near the Iraqi border.

The appalling video was released on ISIS affiliated channels shortly after the attack.

Yesterday Brett McGurk testified at a US Senate Foreign Relations hearing that morale is falling within the militant group as it loses territory.

But he said a political resolution looks unlikely and could not predict an end to fighting as long as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained in power.

He said: "So long as Assad is leading the government in Damascus there is no way this war will ever end."

Iraqi forces recently entered the ISIS stronghold of Fallujah just west of Baghdad.

They were also pushing north toward Mosul, the largest area the terror group holds, while in Syria US-backed forces were closing in on the militant stronghold of Manbij.

And armed forces believe Raqqa, home of ISIS’s media centre, could soon be surrounded.

Mr McGurk added: ”We`re beginning to totally isolate their presence in Raqqa and Mosul and I believe we are setting the conditions in place to get them out of both of these cities.”
