This is the bizarre moment an alleged ISIS fighter tried to hide from a helicopter - by putting a clump of grass over his head.
The supposed Islamic State militant was desperately searching for cover after his convoy was hit by Iraqi Army Aviation.
But instead of lying low, the solider decided to keep moving, choosing to disguise himself with the only materials immediately available to him.




Believing he had escaped the army's surveillance helicopter , the man dived into a bush and grabbed a handful of foliage.

He then stood up straight, placed the leaves over his head and began making his way across the desert.

Unfortunately for him, the helicopter was actually tracking his every move and the fighter was eventually caught by the Iraqi Army.







It is believed that the footage was recorded in the Anbar desert in Iraq .
