The Islamic State terror group executed seven jihadis by drowning them in boiling water as a punishment for deserting the group.

ISIL/Daesh executed the jihadis, who had fled the battlefield in al-Sharqat, Salahuddin province, where the Islamic State is currently battling the Iraqi government forces.

All of them were chucked into big pots after their hands and legs were tightly bound, reports the Daily Star.

It's not the first incident when the terror groups have murdered their own members for desertion.

Last month, they executed 19 fighters for fleeing the battle in Fallujah where Iraqi security services chucked out ISIS.
