The Islamic State (IS) has reportedly released photos showing jihadists dropping concrete blocks on the heads of two thieves as punishment for their crimes.

The terrorists slammed the blocks of stone onto the men's head in "qisas" or eye for an eye retribution as a crowd of people watched on, reported The Mirror.

The men were bound with their heads hung over a kerb. They had allegedly robbed and murdered women in the Nineveh province in northern Iraq.

The images were widely shared by IS supporters on social media.
