The self-proclaimed "Islamic State" group released the first video in 2017, titled “The Procession of Light.” The video was released on the group’s terrorist channels by the so-called the media office of Wilayat Ninewa on January 3.

According to NBC News Counterterrorism Analyst Laith Alkhouri, the direct Arabic translation of the video is “The Convoy of Light.”

The nearly 42-minute video starts with footage of multiple suicide attacks, using booby-trapped vehicles and improvised explosive devices, carried out by the Islamic State in Mosul. The attacks are carried out by young men, who are interviewed by ISIS videographers before conducting suicide attacks.

After that, the narration moves outside of Mosul to show the ISIS militants while fighting with the US-led international coalition forces.

Later, a wheelchair-bound ISIS militant carries out suicide car bombing after giving an interview.

More suicide attacks are shown before the execution part of the video, where two men, who were accused of being spies and collaborating with Iraqi forces, are executed.

The first man is seated while handcuffed and interviewed, then he was taken to a rooftop and beheaded by a black hooded and masked ISIS executioner.

The second man was drowned in a fish tank containing water and ‘Dettol’ while audio of his alleged spying activities is played over his execution.

The video is the first execution video to be released in 2017. The last ISIS execution video was released in late December and featured two Turkish soldiers being burned alive outside of al-Bab, Syria.

Due to the graphic content of the video, AHTribune refrains from publishing it.
