FOOTAGE has emerged showing women and kids raising the ISIS flag at the refugee camp where Brit Shamima Begum was living after fleeing the terror group.

In the video which was posted on Monday a group of women and kids cheer as a young boy scales a lamp post in the al-Hawl camp and unfurls the black ISIS flag.

The footage was circulated among ISIS fanatics with the message: “This is not the end but the beginning, because our mothers and sisters know how to grow cubs to become fearless lions.”

Separately, women in the camp have been vowing vengeance in the name of the terror group.

Currently the camp in northern Syria is home to more than 75,000 people which is run by the Syrian Democratic Forces and houses thousands of ISIS women and children.

Around 800 people, thought to have once been members of ISIS, were released from the camp last month after Kurdish officials rule they were no longer a security risk.

One of the women released at the time, Safaa Mumen, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation: “I am happy to be released but I hope that the [Islamic] State is back, that it will rule us back again.

“The Islamic State will remain and it will even extend.”

A Kurdish guard at the camp Izzadin Ahmed was stabbed on July 3 by a woman who had asked for permission to go shopping.

As she was being escorted out by a guard she stabbed him in the back, according to the camp chief Sheikh Mus Ahmed.

There have also been unconfirmed reports of ISIS women burning the tents of displaced Syrian women for talking to men or walking about without a veil.

The notorious refugee camp has grown in size in recent months due to the collapse of ISIS with millions trying to flee the area.

It had been home to Shamima Begum, 19, the ISIS bride who fled from Britain to join the terror group, who is now in the al-Roj camp.

But she fled from the group as coalition forces closed in on its last stronghold in Baghuz, northern Syria.

She had hoped to escape the squalor of the camp and be repatriated back to Britain but the Home Office revoked her British citizenship leaving her stuck in the camp.
