ISIS militants have released a sickening video of a woman being stoned to death by a large group including her own dad.

The heartbreaking footage shows the woman - who is accused of committing adultery - begging her dad to forgive her, saying "please father" and "forgive me".

But - despite his daughter being moments away from being brutally killed - he refuses and says: "I am not your father anymore".

He then turns to the militants stood nearby and signals for his daughters brutal execution to begin.

As the young woman lies in a pit, huge rocks are thrown onto her. Her father then picks up one of largest rocks and uses it to kill his helpless daughter.

The footage is believed to have been taken in the Syrian city of Hama.

As reported by Mail Online, It begins by showing a bearded man lecturing the woman, telling her she will be stoned to death for adultery.

With her dad stood beside him, he tells the terrified woman: "We hope that this will serve as a lesson for other women".

He then turns to her dad and says: "Is there anything you would like to say to your daughter?". But he pointedly replies: "No."

Despite the woman pleading for her father's forgiveness, he tells her: "I am sorry but my heart won't let me.... I hope God forgives you but I won't."

The five minute video - which emerged on social media sites linked to ISIS - then shows the woman having a rope tied around her neck and dragged into a pit before the stoning begins.

The video does not show the exact moment of her death.
