“Video of children being trained to shoot rifles in Madrasas in India”
What FACTLY found
The video is taken from a documentary shot by Al Jazeera about military training given to children in Afghanistan by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It is not from a Madrasa in India. This 2015 documentary ‘ISIL and the Taliban’ was about the emerging influence of ISIL and its battle for supremacy against Taliban in Afghanistan
