Syrian government forces have reclaimed Palmyra from the Islamic State, the Associated Press reports. ISIS has held the ancient city since May.

The Islamic State tied three of its captives to Roman-era columns in Palmyra, Syria and killed them by blowing up the structures with explosives, activists in the ancient city, captured by the Islamic State in May, told the Associated Press.

One week after detonating the 2,000-year-old temple of Baalshamin, ISIS has destroyed a second ancient temple in the Syrian city of Palmyra. Tuesday morning, the UN released satellite photos confirming the demolition of the Temple of Bel, which dates back to 32 B.C.

According to reports, a renowned Syrian scholar was decapitated and his body hung from a Roman column in the ancient ruins of Palmyra, reportedly because he refused to lead ISIS militants to the valuable artifacts he had been charged with looking after.

A new video, reportedly released by ISIS, appears to show 25 soldiers being executed at the amphitheater in Palmyra, Syria. The men’s executioners look to be boys in their teens. The video has not yet been independently verified.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the Islamic State have planted land-mines and explosives around the ancient Roman city of Palmyra, which was captured in May.
