Islamic State terrorists have released a new propaganda video that shows them training children as young as 5 years old for jihad.
The video shows children gathered at the Al Farouq Institute for Cubs training grounds in the Raqqa proving of Syria, the Daily Mail reported.
The video spans nine minutes and shows boys, decked in camouflage uniforms, standing in formation and obeying the shouted commands of a terrorist trainer. With Arabic music in the background, the boys are also shown carrying out various military drills and waving black Islamic flags.
The Daily Mail also reported that the video shows the boys standing in rows, praying — while a trainer kneels before them, also praying, but in front of a pair of rifles.
