Fresh footage from the ISIL-occupied territories shows Iraqi soldiers being taunted and executed by exuberant militants.
Videos were published on one of the extremist websites which appear to show the same event. A group of five Iraqi soldiers, their hands bound behind their back, are shown sitting on the ground.
The militants mock and taunt them, calling them “enemies of God” who will be killed.
The soldiers are forced to chant the slogan of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the terrorist group that is leading a shock offensive in Iraq since last week.
A separate video shows one of the prisoners lying on the ground with a gun wound to his head, apparently executed by the militants.
ISIL previously released photos of mass executions of Iraqi soldiers and security troops. There are also reports of hundreds of civilians being rounded up and executed by the militants.
