The video, one of many made by the group is thought to be an attempt to boast of their young recruits.
It
also shows youngsters taking an oath pledging an allegiance to the
Islamic State and an even younger boy being asked what he would like to
say to infidels.
He replies: 'Infidels.. you are to be killed.'
One boy, who managed to flee from one of the training camps told CNN how he was just 13 when ISIS tried to recruit him.
He says that his father tried to stop him but militias threatened to behead him if he didn't let his son go.

The footage also shows the children reading and reciting passages from the Quran
The
boy, who has not been named, eventually went to the camp, where he said
they exercised, learned about the Quran, took courses on weapons, while
some were forced to watch gruesome videos.
He
added: 'When we go to the mosque, they order us to come the next day at
a specific time and place to [watch] heads cut off, lashings or
stonings.
'We
saw a young man who did not fast for Ramadan, so they crucified him for
three days, and we saw a woman being stoned [to death] because she
committed adultery.'
The boy managed to escape the camp after his father pulled him out and he and his family fled to the safety of Turkey.
The jihadists issue their warning in a
video yesterday that the beheadings will continue if the U.S. continues
to support the Kurds
Footage of another fifteen members of Kurdish militia captured by the brutal jihadists has been released
The
Islamic State also released a decapitation video yesterday threatening
America for the second time and urging the Kurds to break from their
alliance with the West against the caliphate.
It
came just hours after Islamic State released shocking footage of the
mass execution of 300 Syrian national army soldiers in the Syrian
desert.
The
grainy video, accompanied by the hashtag '2ndAmessagetoAmerica', shows
the vicious beheading of a Kurdish soldier, who was part of a group of
15 fighters likely to have been captured by Islamic State during the
fighting in Iraq.
The
group's first warning ten days ago was entitled 'A Message to America'
and showed the decapitation of American journalist James Foley.
The
video comes after David Cameron announced yesterday that more armed
police will patrol Britain’s streets to counter the threat posed by
fanatics returning from Iraq and Syria.
Extremists have declared a self-styled
caliphate, a Sunni regime ordering its subjects to operate under an
extreme form of Sharia law
