Entitled 'The Blood of Jihad 2', it is the second video in a series revealing life inside the training camps of Islamic State. It was filmed in the IS held province of Nineveh, Iraq.The highly choreographed video opens with dramatic slow motion shots of a group of young boys firing AK 47s advancing in a line - all are wearing matching military camouflage fatigues and chequered headscarves.The first part of the film, which appears to be shot in soft focus and is set to music, then shows the boys undertaking training in martial arts. One of the boys can be seen holding the black flag of Islamic State whilst another of the boys, wearing a headband with a slogan in Arabic, leads the martial arts drill.The boys stand in five neat lines, carefully holding their formation. Most of the boys look no older than 12 or 13 years old and their uniforms hang loosely off their slim bodies.The video goes on to show similar scenes to the first video of the series which featured the training of adult IS fighters. A bearded adult fighter, acting as one of the boy's brigade trainers, is shown striking a wooden cane over one of the child soldier's head. The cane is shown shattering on impact with the young boy's skull - but the boy barely flinches, casting doubts over how solid the piece of wood really is.In another highly choreographed scene the teacher is seen moving to another boy, 'punching' repeatedly into his abdomen - despite appearing to barely make contact.With his his hands held behind his head, the boy withstands the 'punches' before he eventually staggers back.His teacher then kicks him on the shins and continues to land punches on his stomach whilst the other boys watch on.Next, ten of the boys are shown forming a two tiered human pyramid.One of the boys performs a running leap and acrobatically lands on top of the boys. Standing upon their linked arms, the boy steadies himself before triumphantly holding aloft Islamic State's flag.The video continues to show off the young recruits skills with the next scene showing one of the boys disarming a fellow trainee who is posing as a gunman and successfully demobilising eight other boys through unarmed combat.When kicked in the shins the boy deftly turns the fall into a cartwheel - again suggesting the video has been very carefully, and heavily, choreographed. Despite their dramatic shouts, the boys do not seem to make contact with each other, and each falls carefully to the floor and remains there while the victor makes his way around the circle. Such ninja skills are a popular feature of IS training videos, despite most of their soldiers having few opportunities to use ninja skills on the frontline.Their guns appear oversized in their small hands as they move their weapons left and right as if they are searching for an imaginary enemy. They halt and form a small circle to discuss tactics whilst one of the boys is ordered to break off from the group and run across no man's land towards a steep hill.Despite the fact the guns do not appear to be loaded, the scene is accompanied by the deafening roar of gunfire and explosions.Each boy takes it in turn to run across the field, dive down behind some sandbags and fire off a few rounds of their AK 47s at the imaginary enemy.Two of the boys then race up a steep hill, where they proceed to round up a number of 'prisoners'. They lead the prisoners back down the hill, forcing them to keep their hands behind their heads and dragging them by their scarfs with a gun barrel menacingly positioned in their back.The shocking video finishes with the young recruits taking it in turns to thank each of their teachers, shaking their hands and kissing them on their cheek.Bakudaily.Az
