ISIS militants have lined up and shot 200 Syrian children in the latest sickening mass execution video to emerge from inside the jihadis' territory.
Forced
to lie side-by-side and with their faces in the dirt, the video shows
about 200 young children stretched out in a long line to the left and
right.
Behind them, at least a dozen gunmen armed with assault rifles and handguns stand poised and ready to fire. See the pictures after the jump...

One militant then begins firing at point blank range - shooting each child individually as he makes along the row of children.
Others
beside him also open fire, mostly using their machine guns, and the
area is filled with dust, obscuring much of the bloodshed.
The video
is believed to have been filmed somewhere inside Syria, where ISIS
control a swathe of territory, including Raqqa, the capital of the
terrorists' self-proclaimed caliphate.
While
ISIS is notorious for mass executions, there have been few reports of
the militants targeting such a large group of children exclusively.
Although
it lasts less than 30 seconds, almost all of the video is too graphic
to broadcast unedited. It was not clear what the children were accused
of in order to be sentenced to death.
The sound has also been redacted, though clear sustained gunfire is heard throughout the original recording.
ISIS
is known to have executed children previously. In one instance, 1,700
Iraqi military cadets were slaughtered in a mass killing that lasted an
entire day and night.
Grisly footage of the killings - likely to rank among the group's worst atrocities - showed executions on an industrial scale.
Young
men were filmed falling from trucks and pleading for their lives before
being lay down in shallow graves and sprayed with bullets.
Others were
shot individually and their bodies dumped into the Tigris River, while
an excavator was required to shift vast piles of bodies as the
executions continued into the night.
In addition to the mass killings, the terrorists have also attempted to invent new ways in which to murder people.
Public beheadings, dismemberment, and throwing people from tall buildings are a common occurrence within ISIS territory.
Other
killings are held in areas of significance. After the jihadis overran
the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria, in May, they killed dozens inside
its ancient Roman amphitheatre.
And
the massacre of 1,700 military cadets in Iraq last year was carried out
in part in Saddam Hussein's former presidential quarters in Tikrit.
