It was no doubt intended to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies, but the Islamic State's latest video appears far more playground than battleground.

ISIS today released footage from its training camps, showing recruits disguised as bushes and performing clumsy roly-polies in scenes that could come straight from hit satirical film Four Lions.

The video bears all the hallmarks of the slickly edited propaganda material regularly pumped out by the terror group's media arm to dramatic effect.

From this evidence, however, their next generation of 'special forces' are far from being a well-oiled machine.

Hop to it: : An Islamic State recruit prepares to pick up a machine gun while doing a forward roll at a terror camp in Iraq or Syria in the latest training video released by the extremist group

Awkward maneouvre: The jihadi grapples with the weapon as he tumbles over in this bizarre drill

Unconvincing He grimaces as he struggles to point the weapon at an imaginery target while lying on his back

Bumbling: Other drills show them performing unnecessary forward rolls over a mound which would leave them far more exposed to enemy fire than keeping low with a commando crawl

In one sequence, the militants are made to perform a forward roll while picking up a machine gun off the ground, a maneouvre that appears far slower than just... picking it up off the ground.

The clip shows them awkwardly grappling with the weapon as they tumble over and grimacing as they struggle to point it at an imaginary target while lying on their back with their legs in the air.

In other scenes, the recruits have a crack at martial arts by taking it turns to smash wall tiles over their own heads.

Another discipline sees them punching similar tiles being held by fellow jihadis in scenes more commonly associated with Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee than terrorism.

Meanwhile, one nimble ninja shows off his moves with a series of air punches and kicks before ending the routine by doing the splits.

The art of camouflage also forms part of the training, with the recruits shown prowling the grounds of the terror camp dressed in foliage to simulate bush.

But they don't forget the skills needed for guerrilla warfare either, such as seen during the conflict that destroyed the Syrian town of Kobane.

For abseiling down buildings is also included in the training package, as demonstrated by some rather nervous-looking recruits seen clinging anxiously to the rope before sliding slowly down.

The footage is far less sinister than other recent training videos released by the terror group, one of which in November showed boys as young as five being taught to use a handgun.

The extremists have also set up a school in Syria called Osama Bin Laden.

The religious school, named after the former leader of Al Qaeda, was opened in Manbij, a small town in the north.

The facility offers religious instruction classes for residents living in the town and classes in Islamic State’s extremist version of Sharia law.

Previous clips also showed more than 100 recruits learning combat skills at a training camp.

The six-minute video titled ‘The Blood of Jihad in Nineveh’ was posted on YouTube in October after being filmed in northern Iraq.

It sees the men waiting in line to be kicked in the stomach, being shot at while crawling along the ground and removing a wounded fighter from battle.

The latest video comes as the U.S.-led coalition staged 15 air strikes on ISIS forces in Iraq and Syria, the Combined Joint Task Force said today.

Five of the strikes were around the Syrian town of Kobane, where the coalition and Kurdish forces have been pushing back Islamic State.

They destroyed eight fighting positions and two checkpoints, as well as hitting tactical units hit.

Two strikes also were staged near Al Hasakah, Syria, the task force said in a statement.

Eight air strikes near six Iraqi towns hit fighting positions, tactical units, a weapon-storage facility, vehicles and buildings.

All the strikes were conducted between Wednesday and Thursday mornings, the statement said.
