Shocking new images have shown ISIS terrorists toppling crosses, smashing Christian relics with hammers and erecting the black flag of ISIS on churches in Iraq, The Daily Mail reports.
The latest photos show the militants vandalising churches in Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Assyrian empire.
Pictured in civilian clothing, the ISIS thugs are seen overturning statues, destroying religious icons and replacing Christian crosses with the chilling ISIS banner.
Earlier this month, ISIS went on a rampage in the Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq, destroying the 3,000 year-old winged statues placed at the gates of the Palace of Ashurnasirpal.
They also bulldozed 2,000-year-old Hatra – another UNESCO World Heritage site.
In recent weeks, ISIS have also set off bombs around Mosul Central Library, destroying as many as 10,000 priceless and irreplaceable books and manuscripts.
Last year ISIS destroyed the Armenian Genocide Memorial Church in Deir Ez-Zor, Syria.
