ISIS release horrific photos of a man having his hand amputated for theft

The news of the shocking act comes after Islamic State also published photos of a man being crucified for allegedly spying for the Assad regime. 

Both despicable acts were carried out in accordance with the extremist group’s radical interpretation of Sharia law.

The amputation occurred after Friday prayers in the city of al-Bab in the Syrian province of Aleppo.

A large crowd of men and young boys, all wrapped up in winter coats and civilian wear, are shown eagerly waiting for the punishment to be carried out.

A number of the spectators can be seen standing on the top of several parked cars, hoping to get a better view of the horrific event.

Blindfolded by a beige, tasseled scarf and wearing a black leather jacket, the man is shown being led into the centre of the street.

His hands are tied behind his back and the rough hand of an Islamic State fighter is shown holding the man by his neck.

A bearded man, wearing a brown scarf and shirt, appears to be waiting attentively for the victim. Wearing a pair of white surgical gloves, the man is later shown tending to the man's freshly amputated arm. 

Close up images show a small wooden table with several items of medical equipment. A plastic, brown bottle, possibly containing a strong anti-septic or pain killer, is shown positioned on the table.

Several large gauze plasters and a reel of plastic tape also rest in preparation for the aftermath of the amputation.
