A graphic and harsh video has recently been released that apparently shows the mass captivation of 120 Syrian Soldiers. The video shows the Islamic State Group marching those soldiers (wearing only their underwear) through a desert. The video is allegedly filmed near Tabqa, i.e. in Northeastern Syria, where the Islamic State Militants had taken over a military base last week.
The video showed the masked armed men overseeing the march while they kept making sheep-herding noises. Meanwhile the men also kept hitting the soldiers with rifle butts and kicking them to keep them moving. One of the militants also had a black-and-white Islamic State flag, who marched in the front of the line.
In a later video shoot which was also uploaded on the social media showed the bodies of over 100 men lying on the ground with their faces down. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights located in the United Kingdom said that the bodies of the dead soldiers were later claimed from an arid countryside near the Tabqa airfield. The retrieval was done three days after the military base was seized. The Observatory confirmed that 120 men were killed near the base.
The video footages were verified by the Associated press journalists of the region who were familiar with the shown locations. A statement that floated the twitter profiles of the Islamic State group supporters claimed that they had killed about 200 men captured near Tabqa. So far this State group has been responsible for over 190,000 kills. A UN commission, soon after, accused the Islamic State group of committing crimes against humanity.
