De woestijnstad #Palmyra in #Syrië was een #archeologische bezienswaardigheid van formaat totdat IS en het Syrische leger er huishielden. 80 procent van de antieke #gebouwen is er vernietigd of zwaar beschadigd. Heel langzaam keren de toeristen er toch terug.

📢 As part of the ongoing military escalation, an Israeli military convoy advanced from Tal al-Ahmar al-Gharbi toward the village of al-Asha in the southern countryside of Quneitra, southern #syria --

Meanwhile, Syrian media reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted the #palmyra military airport in the countryside of Homs, central Syria.

I pass by this mural every day.

How I would have loved to visit Palmyra on my last bike tour to the Middle East.

I would have honored a great person, Khaled Mohamad al-Asaad.

He was a Syrian archaeologist who headed the antiquities in the ancient city of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

He held this position for over forty years.

Al-Asaad was publicly beheaded by the Islamic State on 18 August 2015, at the age of 83.

Experts are returning to Syria’s war-ravaged heritage sites, hoping to lay the groundwork for restoring them and reviving tourism, which they say could provide a much-needed boost to the country’s decimated economy after nearly 14 years of war. One of Syria’s six UNESCO World Heritage sites, the ancient city of Palmyra was once a key hub to the Silk Road network linking the Roman and Parthian empires to Asia.
