Horrifying footage shows 250 Syrian soldiers marched to their deaths as IS continue to use social media to spread their message of hate

Disturbing footage has emerged that appears to show Islamic State militants marching 250 captured soldiers through the desert in their underwear – and then executing them.

According to an IS fighter, the men were seized along with planes, helicopters, tanks and artillery from the Syrian Tabqa air base, which the radical Islamist group took on Sunday.

In the footage, hundreds of men are seen to be paraded through the desert, chanting in Arabic, before the screen fades to black.

The next image shows piles of the executed men stacked on top of each other. The clip goes on to show a line of corpses stretched into the shape of a crescent.

‘The 250 shabeeha taken captive by the Islamic State from Tabqa in Raqqa have been executed," says the caption, referring to soldiers loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
