The news about Palmyra is not good.
Government and IS have now been fighting for every inch in fierce battles for over a week, and the region seems to be severely damaged.
This is from an interview with an eyewitness:
Q: How were Palmyra’s ruins when you left?
I last visited them more than a month ago. IS destroyed a number of them with explosives, as you know. Russian and regime bombings have also struck them. Say goodbye to Palmyra’s ruins, they’ve been completely disfigured and destroyed.
