Savage jihadis fighting for the Islamic in Syria have brutally beheaded 12 men accused of fighting for the terror group's Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam rivals.
more photos after the cut.
Filmed
close to Syrian capital and regime stronghold Damascus, the sickening
footage shows the terrified men being interviewed and paraded in front
of the camera before their bloody execution.
After
'confessing' to the crime of opposing ISIS and failing to declare
allegiance to the terror group's bloodthirsty leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi, the men are led out into a desert clearing where they are
forced to their knees and each man executed by a different masked member
of the Islamic State.
The video -
titled Repent Before Being Overcome - was released by the lesser known
Damascus branch of the Islamic State but bears all the high-tech
hallmarks of the terror group's other slick and professionally edited
murder videos.
Hollywood-style
graphics begin the clip and show the 12 victims hunched over as they
are dragged through a remote stretch of desert to the site where they
will be murdered.
The men
walk uncomfortably due to the way their arms are bound, with each forced
to wear to bright orange jumpsuits now synonymous with the fanatics
depraved beheading films.
Curiously
the men are led to the site by heavily armed men wearing full battle
fatigues but with their faces totally exposed. The victims are then
handed over to executioners, who cover their faces.
In
a slick bit of editing before the murders, the footage momentarily
rewinds and fades into a montage of Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam fighters
battling ISIS.
This
is likely to be a kind of reminder to the video's viewers that the
three jihadi groups remain fierce rivals despite having a common enemy
in Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
Over the
next few segments, the 12 prisoners are interviewed about the so-called
crimes and are forced to confess that they wish they had joined ISIS
before it was too late.
The
overall theme of the video is along the same lines, and sends a clear
signal to other rebel groups fighting in Syria that they must declare
allegiance to ISIS 'before being overcome'.
While
speaking directly into the camera, the men appear clean-shave - a
rarity for jihadis and something likely to have been intended to
humiliate the men before they are killed.
Seconds late the clip cuts back to the victims wearing orange jumpsuits being led to their deaths.
After
being marched to the execution site, the armed jihadis take a step back
and another group - all of them masked and wearing different combat
gear - step forward to carry out the beheadings.
One
fighter whose face is slightly most exposed than the others rants in
Arabic and issues another warning that other jihadi groups fighting for
ISIS must accept Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as their leader or otherwise face
certain death.
