ISIS terrorists put at least 12 people to death in execution-style killings in the ancient city of Palmyra, which they re-captured from the government for a second time in December 2016.

Jihadists beheaded 4 of the people – state employees and teachers – outside a museum. The 8 others – 4 of them are government soldiers and 4 of them rebel fighters captured elsewhere in Syria – were shot. Some of the killings took place at an ancient Roman theatre in Palmyra, where Islamic State last year put at least 25 government fighters to death.
