This is the terrifying moment a suicide bomber blows himself up just yards from a group of Syrian rebel soldiers.

But the ISIS soldier was somewhat unsuccessful in his mission, as he wasn't close enough to take anyone with him when the bomb went off.

It has sparked comments online such as 'He needs more practice.'

The footage was shot in Raqqa as the battles for key cities continue.

The footage shows a group of soldiers near a tank behind a building in Raqqa, during an offensive called the wrath of Euphrates

Aware of the presence of an intruder, the soldiers have retreated back behind the tank as he appears at the side of the building

According to the agency, it shows an ISIS fighters blowing himself near a gathering point for Syrian democratic forces SDF fighters in Raqqa countryside during the running operation 'Wrath of Euphrates'.

In the video, soldiers can be seen in front of a building, and they move behind a tank, perhaps after a clear warning of the enemy's presence.

The man then appears suddenly around the corner, and in a split second, his bomb detonates.

In a sudden and terrifying moment, the man activates the bomb he is wearing, causing a huge explosion

Though only yards from the group, he was too far to have hit anyone when he detonated the device

As the smoke clears, the soldiers can be seen still standing around, apparently not harmed by the attack

But as the smoke clears it becomes obvious that the bomber has not taken anyone with him, and the soldiers are still standing.

The footage was taken and shared on February 14.

It has been watched a few thousand times, but those who have commented have been merciless.

One wrote: 'That split second you jump the corner, press the detonate button while realizing no one is there.'

Another added: 'Practice makes perfect.'

It comes soon after the Human Rights Watch charity released footage purporting to show evidence of chlorine and toxic gas attacks in Aleppo.
