Maamouri called on human rights organizations to come “document the crimes of ISIS and to publicize the incident to the international community to condemn its funders and supporters with money and words.”

ISIS, known as ISIL or Daesh, has increasingly relied on child soldiers to do its bidding. The terror group also frequently features children in its propaganda videos and photos. Earlier in 2015, ISIS used a boy who is probably no more than 10 years old in a video that shows him shooting and killing an alleged spy.

Recently, the group released a propaganda video that shows another young boy, who has been described as “Jihadi Junior” by several media outlets, dressed in a military outfit and wearing a bandana.
