Hundreds of ISIS child soldiers butchered as cornered terror group face annihilation in Mosul
MORE than 300 so-called “Cubs of Caliphate” have been slaughtered in Mosul after ISIS sent them into battle , a human rights group reports.
The death cult is facing losing hold of its key bastion in Iraq and has resorted to dispatching brainwashed children into battle to their doom.
More child troops are expected to die in the coming days as Iraqi Government enter the city to flush out the terror group with blood thirsty urban warfare.
Military leaders are also hoping to funnel fleeing jihadis into a so-called ‘corridor of death’.
The child soldier deployment is an eerie echo of the closing days of World War 2 where the Nazis began sending out the Hitler Youth to fight the well armed and trained Soviet troops.
Comparisons have been drawn with the German fascist youth wing and the Cubs of Caliphate.
Some observers say that the Cubs are even more fanatical and are prepared to be suicide bombers.
According the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights hundreds of them have been killed as Iraqi government forces close in - backed by US and British warplanes and drones.
The British based watchdog said: "This will raise the death toll to at least 480 Syrian fighters killed in the ranks of the Islamic State since the start of the battles in the Mosul area, among them more than 300 child soldiers from the 'lion cubs of the caliphate'."
