Beirut (AFP) - A Syrian rebel group operating around Damascus has executed 18 alleged members of the Islamic State group in a video mimicking the extremist organisation's own productions.

The video, which emerged overnight, shows fighters from Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam) wearing the orange prison clothes that IS victims often sport.

The IS prisoners however are wearing black clothes and chained together wearing ankle and hand shackles with metal balls attached.

Oh well.

Shot instead of beheaded.

I hope that the two groups decimate each other and reduce the population in that area to less than 5 humans per square kilometer

It would be more effective if they slaughtered a pig first and threw the blood on the isis fighters. That way (according to moslem belief) the isis perps go straight to hell (where they belong)

Terrorists killing terrorists?

It would be a huge psyop right now for somebody to produce a fake video showing one side or the other not just executing enemy Muslims, but also defiling their bodies, like throwing dead dogs into the burial pit with them.

For Muslims who just shrug at murder, something like this would hit them at a visceral level. It might dry up recruitment for one side or the other.

Aw, that's a shame.

• U.N.: World should be ashamed at failure to end Syria conflict
• REPORT: ISIS just executed its top official in Mosul for planning a coup

Nice touch of irony.
