Check<\/h4>\n<p>Upon a reverse image search, we came across several news reports from July 2015 containing images clicked during the incident seen in the viral video. British outlet The Mirror <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/isis-execution-terror-group-proudly-5986065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the viral video showed ISIS executioners executing &#8216;gay&#8217; men by throwing them off a building. The report mentions that four men were killed by the terrorists. They were tied up and blindfolded, and carried to the edge of a building in Fallujah, Iraq. They were then thrown off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-171966\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/chrome_p83VMCwuBC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1401\" height=\"1354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/chrome_p83VMCwuBC.jpg 1401w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/chrome_p83VMCwuBC-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/chrome_p83VMCwuBC-1024x990.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/chrome_p83VMCwuBC-768x742.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1401px) 100vw, 1401px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/gallery\/isis-throw-gay-men-roof-5986101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Mirror<\/a> on the same incident contains more images released by ISIS that show the execution. The building seen in the viral video is identical to the one seen in the pictures. Moreover, a white car parked beside the building in the viral video is also visible in the images. A man dressed in black is seen standing at the bottom of the building in both the viral video and the images, confirming that they were captured at the same spot.
