Syrian rebel behead boy, 11, in sickening video

The young boy is said to be a soldier for Liwaa al-Quds – a group which supports Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s army.

He is seen in the back of a truck in the Palestinian refugee Handarat Camp in northern Aleppo.

One of the group shouts "Allahu akbar” – which means "God is great” in Arabic – before mercilessly slaughtering the child.

The boy can been seen in ragged clothes and surrounded by the smug militants.

One of the fighters holds his hair and another slaps him in the face.

Faced down on the back of the truck with his hands bound, the boy appears to have been tortured – before his throat is slit by a small knife.

The video is too horrific to be shown.The child’s head is then placed on the back of the truck before the killer jumps off.

The Nour al-Din al-Zenki group is part of the Levant Front, made up of the Islamic Front and the Free Syrian Army – who are fighting to overthrow the Assad government.

It is also fighting against Islamic State and the US-led coalition – which includes the UK – has supplied the group with anti-tank missiles.
