In yet another barbaric encounter, ISIS militants released a video through their aided agency Amaq, showing a corpse in military attire being crucified and a model of a fighter jet laid over the cross, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
ISIS shot down a fighter jet, apparently belonging to the Syrian air force, near the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor. The jet was all set to attack ISIS insurgents when the latter shot it down.
There is no clarification as to whether the jet was brought down by a missile or gun fire, however, it is for the third time wherein ISIS has attacked fighter jets since the month of April.
This isn’t an isolated incident, earlier the terror group attacked a Russian helicopter near Palymra killing two Russian pilots on board. “The turning helicopter was hit by militants’ gunfire from the ground and crashed in the area controlled by the Syrian government army. The crew died,” according to an Amaq report. Glorifying the macabre incident, ISIS released a video showing a helicopter being shot and crashing to the ground against cries of ‘It’s fallen, God is greatest’.
