A new propaganda video released by the Islamic State (IS) group shows children dubbed jihadist cubs training for jihad in a terror training camp in Syria.

According to the Independent, around 80 boys are seen standing in formation in a courtyard as they perform exercises and chant "Allahu Akbar!" to a commander's orders.

Clothed in military gear and sporting black headbands with the IS symbol on it, the boys believed to be as young as five can be seen praying, reciting verses from the Koran and discussing Islam in the nine-minute video.

The video called "Al-Farouq Institute for Cubs" also shows the camp in and out.

 

The report further said that the video could not be independently verified but is believed to have been recorded at a terror training camp called the Al-Farouq Institute for Cubs, in the Isis stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.
