ISIS is now cutting the ears off fighters who try and flee from battle, it is reported.
The
terror group removed one ear from 33 soldiers caught fleeing the battle
in Mosul, their last stronghold in Iraq, a source told
Alsumaria News.
The
men had been imprisoned before the punishment was carried out, and were
told the other ear would be removed if they tried to flee a second
time.

Typically the jihadi group
executes deserters, but a source said they have stopped using that
punishment because they are short of fighters (pictured, Iraqi troops in
Mosul)
Typically deserters from
the extremist group are executed, but the source said the terrorists are
having to opt for less extreme punishments because they are running out
of fighters.
ISIS once controlled
around 40 per cent of Iraq, but that has now been whittled down to just 7
per cent, according to joint operations commander Brigadier General
Yahya Rasool.
