Isis Posts Grisly Pictures of Beheaded Palestinians in Yarmouk Camp

Islamic State (Isis) militants have posted grisly pictures of beheaded Palestinians, including that of an imam, from a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria which it took control of earlier in the weekend.

Initial reports by the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) monitoring group stated Isis has taken over 90% of Yarmouk camp, located on the outskirts of Damascus.

The Palestinian refugee camp on the southern edge of the Syrian capital has been the scene of a violent fight since it was entered by Isis militants earlier this week.

The SOHR report noted that the Sunni extremist group has struck an unusual allegiance with its arch rival Jabhat al-Nusra, to take control of Yarmouk from rebels loyal to Palestinian faction Hamas, which had been fighting against regime troops.
