AFP reported this as breaking news about an hour ago, and this is the first English Language article on it I have seen.
Assad's forces evacuated a ton of civilians, and chose not to fight among the monuments, that ISIS has vowed to destroy. If the Yaquidi didn't evacuate, it's going to be another ISIS SLAUGHTER...
Losing Palmyra also opens up Western Syria to Isis invasion.

I not really concerned with sounding like an isolationist, but why should we worry? All I’m concerned with is the safety of Israel.

I'm sure ISIS is licking its collective chops at the destruction it'll get to wreak. Sad to think this will all be dust in a week or two.

An oil pipeline from Iraq runs through Palmyra. I believe it’s underground, at least in that area, to keep from spoiling the look of the ancient city.

Lots of comments on this thread indicating that many really don't understand some fundamental things. Barry and the other piecefuls, scattered throughout USGov are _helping_ to establish the Caliphate. Anybody who is raised in this _religion_ are looking forward to the reestablished Caliphate. It is built into their psyche and beliefs.
Barry has been and will continue to facilitate his sacred belief.
