ISIS terrorists are evacuating their families from Palmyra city towards al-Sekhneh town, north-east of Palmyra in the eastern countryside of Homs, the Damascus-based al-Watan newspaper reports.
The evacuation comes after a painful blows delivered to the terror organization by the Syrian Arab army in the city of Palmyra.
In May, 2015, the ISIS terrorists captured Palmyra city, which is a UNESCO world heritage site containing 2.000 year-old ruins, in the wake of several-day attacks on it. They perpetrated brutal crimes against its people and barbarically destroyed ancient sites there.
Ten days after ISIS’s recapture of the city, CNN reported that ISIS killed more than 250 persons, including 13 children.
In August, ISIS terrorists beheaded the prominent Syrian archeologists Khaled al-Asaad in the city, because he refused to tell them where valuable artefacts had been moved for safekeeping.
