ISIS Releases Shocking Video of Young Boys Fighting in Locked Steel Cage [+videos]

The Islamic State group is training its next generation of fighters by locking them in a steel cage and forcing them to fight each other, a chilling new propaganda video has revealed.

The Daily Mail first reported that a seven minute-long video [at the bottom of this article] released by ISIS-linked social media accounts shows young boys, known as “cubs of the caliphate”, wrestling inside a giant ring encircled by black ISIS flags while an armed armed commander yells encouragement.

A later scene in the video, which is believed to have been filmed at an ISIS base in Iraq, shows the same commander beating the children with a stick as they move through an assault course, and then walking across their stomachs as they lay on the floor.

Other disturbing scenes in the propaganda video show the masked boys breaking tiles with their heads, practicing fighting moves and crawling through metal tubes as ISIS fighters fire rounds over their heads . . .
