Moment ISIS brutes ch*p off hands of two 'thieves' in Syria

This is the gruesome moment ISIS brutes used meat cleavers and hammers to chop off the hands of two men in a Syrian town square.

The men were dragged before a baying crowd in Abu Kamal in eastern Syria, close to the border with Iraq, before the savage punishment was carried out.

Pictures show the men being forced to kneel next to a chopping block before their arms are tied down 

and fingers pulled to ensure their hands are flat.

A blade is placed on the top of the wrist before a masked jihadist uses a metal hammer to strike down on the meat cleaver.

Moments later, men rush in with bandages to stem the flow of bleeding.

It is not the first time thieves have been maimed by ISIS brutes for their crimes.

In September, extremists were pictured holding down a man before slicing off his hand in the city of Hama in western Syria.

A month earlier, sickening images emerged of a similar punishment being handed out in the terror group's stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.
