The Islamic State (IS) group has started forcing children to attend training camps where they teach them how to behead in Syria's northern province of Raqqa.

According to ABC News, IS fighters forced a 13-year-old child named Mohammad to attend the camp and threatened to kill him when his father opposed it.

Mohammad's father said that the training camps were a method by which militants brainwash the children.

Mohammed, along with other children, was asked to practice beheading a toy that looked like a white bold westerner.

The residents said that the militant group was forcibly recruiting children under 15 to special camps to introduce minors to their foundations.
