RNA - "There are scores of videos showing that hundreds of very young militants have been fighting against government forces in Syria's battlefields," the sources said.

A Russian website also said that employing children as fighters in battlefield has been atop the agenda of terrorist groups since escalation of clashes in Syria.

ISIL and Fatah al-Sham (the newly-formed al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group previously known as the al-Nusra Front) have used different methods to attract children to join their military forces.

Terrorist groups set up at least seven military training camps for children in the first six months of their control over Idlib province.

Jeish al-Fatah's religious leader Abdullah al-Moheiseni's representatives were going village by village in Idlib to encourage families to send their children to military camps justifying the targeted parents with this sentence that "your children will plead you before the God in the other world".

Terrorist groups meantime spent a lot of money to persuade parents in Idlib and even Aleppo province to join military camps and operations in Syria.

Most of the child-fighters have been attracted by Fatah al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham.

Sources have announced that Jeish al-Fatah's casualties in Aleppo battles have exceeded 3,000 out of which a large number have been between the ages of 15 to 22.
