ISIS fighters are shaving off their beards and dressing as women in a bid to escape from battle, Iraqi forces have claimed.
A series of pictures have emerged showing men who have reportedly been caught trying to escape from northern Iraq wearing dresses and make-up.
The photographs, posted on Instagram, show authorities appearing to pull back burkas to reveal young boys and even men with moustaches.
Iraqi troops and militia are battling to push ISIS back from the area.
