ISIS maim and murder kids by booby trapping beds, TVs, trainers …and even the bathroom sink

ISIS is slaughtering families in war-torn Syria by rigging their homes with explosives hidden in everyday household items.

In sickening echoes of Nazi World War 2 tactics, vengeful jihadis are lacing family homes, schools and hospitals with death traps as they are chased out of their strongholds.

ISIS is currently being hammered by British and US warplanes and attacked by ground troops – including the SAS – as part of a drive to flush the terror maniacs from Syria and Iraq once and for all.

But the blood-thirsty bandits are making sure they leave behind as much horror as possible in their wake.

Families returning to their homes after battles to expel the death cult from their towns are being blown up after unwittingly triggering booby traps in doorways, windows and fridges.

Some victims are simply picking up their clothes and shoes or switching on TVs and taps which then denote bombs and blown them to bits.

Yet Human Rights Watch says it is not just homes that are booby-trapped - schools and hospitals are also being rigged up to maim and kill.

Ole Solvang, deputy emergencies director, said: “ISIS mined virtually everything including, quite literally, the kitchen sink before they left.

“These explosive devices have already killed and injured hundreds of civilians, but these numbers will increase even further as more people return to their homes.”

One grieving mum, Zakia Hassan said that her son, Ibrahim Hammud, 35, detonated an explosive device by touching a mattress as he returned to his house.

“It killed him instantly,” she said.

A second improvised mine was then found under shoes.

The chilling reports come from Manbij, a city in northern Syria, which has been liberated from ISIS tyranny by Western backed rebels after a two month battle.

So called victim-activated improvised explosive devices are banned under the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty and were famously used by Nazis bent on revenge in the closing days of World War 2.

But ISIS has a long track record of ignoring international laws, executing prisoner  and even its own ranks in every more horrifying ways.

As reported, ISIS slaughtered nine of its own members by toasting them to death in oil trenches after they attempted to flee the war zone in Mosul.

The city in northern Iraq is the group’s last major stronghold in the country, and government forces working with US officials launched an offensive to free the area last week.

Meanwhile the RAF revealed yesterday its war jets and drones destroyed 46 Islamic State targets in Mosul during a four day blitz.
