After its successful attack on Tabqa Airbase in Syria, which ended with the infamous marching of 250 Syrian soldiers half naked through the desert, and mass executing them in cold blood, various members of the Islamic State released their own recordings of the attack. Now the Islamic State has released a new version of the video, professionally edited in line with such released as Saleel As-Sawarim 4, or The Flames of War.

Drone footage at the beginning of the video is pretty cool, but to me the most remarkable part of the release is how it captures the battlefield mentality of the mujaheddin, especially their senseless shooting of corpses. There are bodies of slain men scattered all over the plain, most of them clearly past the point of death, yet they’re still being shot at like there’s any achievement in riddling their bodies with more bullets.

The editors of the video also must have thought that images of men in their underwear are unislamic. Cause unlike in previous releases, that part of the video is blurred. It’s a truly spectacular case of hypocrisy.
