A new Islamic State video shows a jihadist boy passionately shouting religious messages while assisting two ISIS executioners to execute two prisoners.

The unusual images begin with the little one, with his head covered in black, looking directly at the camera while shouting: "The unfaithful and the murderer will never meet in hell." The camera then shows his tiny hands in which he holds two daggers.

Immediately afterwards, two executioners dressed completely in black - whose faces are also covered - collect these weapons. Shortly before, the little boy asks Allah to grant peace to the murderers.

The video does not skimp on showing the brutality that follows, when the two executioners mercilessly decapitate their respective victims. It is unclear whether the boy witnessed the entirety of the brutal scene, but it was broadcast without apparent editing.

This is not the first time that ISIS uses a child in one of its videos. Last year the newspaper El Clarín from Argentina reported that these children are called puppies of the caliphate and that they are “the threat that the terrorist organization prepares for the future: children recruited from a young age to be taught and trained in various combat functions"

The organization sometimes uses children who have been orphaned or have been taken from their parents' hands in various ways to take them to a kind of summer camp where they are fed and trained in jihadism.
