ISIS seize control of ancient Syria city, Palmyra

Islamic State forces (ISIS) have seized control of Syria’s ancient city of Palmyra once again, one day after they were repelled from the city by government forces on Saturday. The Islamic State fighters seized the historic city, its airport and a castle located outside Palmyra despite intense airstrikes by regime jets and those of its ally, Russia. In the clash, about 120 regime troops and allied militiamen were reportedly killed as well as dozens of fighters from the terror group.
