ISIS Storms Syrian City Near Historic Palmyra Ruins

ISIS militants on Wednesday stormed and captured roughly one third of a central Syrian city that is just few meters from the ancient ruins of Palmyra.

Reports according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says that ISIS fighters entered Tadmur, a modern city of thousands of people, after days of fighting with Syrian government forces in the area .

 

U.N. and Syrian officials have expressed fears that if the historic Palmyra ruins fall under ISIS control, the group will destroy them, just as it bulldozed the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud and took statues in Mosul Museum.
