palmyra was overrun by isis militants. there are reports in the city still has a large civilian population that is still present even though isis has arrived. militants are reportedly going door-to-door, they say looking for syrian soldier the notable thing about this particular takeover is this seals to be the first time that isis has seized control of a significant size city from the syrian government, from president bashar al assad's troops. previous takeovers in syria have been from other rebel groups or contested areas. but this was a city protected by the army. the official army of syria and bashar al assad. with this gain, arguably, isis controls something like half of syria, including large portions of its oil fields. there are no reports of the damaged archeological sites so far, given isis' previous experience with other archeologically sensitive things the destruction of antiquities in the grand museum in mosul and iraq, for obvious reason, there is a lot of global consternation about palmyra being in the hands
