2 boys hanged by Islamic State for eating during Ramzan

The barbaric Islamic State has crucified two children ‘for not fasting’ during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The boys, believed to be under the age of 18, were brutally killed by the jihadists in Syria’s Deir Ezzor region.

Militants hanged signs on the children’s neck, which said ‘not fasting in Ramadan’, according to the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights 

It is not the first time IS has brutally murdered and crucified people for what they believed were violations of their strict and oppressive laws.

Last October, IS militants publicly crucified and murdered a teenager who was accused of taking photos of the jihadists’ Syrian headquarters.

A handwritten placard was hung around his neck which accused him of abandoning his religion.

While in April this year, the militants brutally beheaded four men accused of theft and then crucified their bodies in a town square.

The United Nations said in February they were aware of reports of IS militants killing children by burying them alive or crucifying them in Iraq.
