After several days of heavy assault fighting, Syrian government troops and local militia have retaken the town of Al-Qaryatayn from Islamic State. As RT’s Lizzie Phelan traveled there, she found a devastated place.

Al-Qaryatayn had been held by terrorist groups since late August. The liberation of the city proclaimed April 3 came days after Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) was pushed out of the ancient city of Palmyra, 100km (60 miles) to the east.

Tentera menjangka Al-Qaryatayn untuk berkhidmat sebagai batu loncatan untuk kemajuan selanjutnya terhadap kubu kuat IS di timur Syria.

"Al-Qaryatayn adalah di persimpangan yang menghubungkan sempadan Iraq dengan Palmyra dan dari Palmyra melalui Damsyik," Ahmad Albuhamad, leftenan pertama dalam rejimen puak itu, sekutu tentera Arab Syria (SAA), menjelaskan kepada RT.

The army expects Al-Qaryatayn to serve as a springboard for further advances against IS strongholds in eastern Syria.

“Al-Qaryatayn is at a junction that connects the Iraqi border with Palmyra and from Palmyra through to Damascus,” Ahmad Albuhamad, first lieutenant in the Tribesmen regiment, an ally of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), explained to RT.

Golongan ini nampaknya mengunakan jentolak sebahagiannya memusnahkan Biara St Elias, yang bermula sejak lebih daripada 1,500 tahun. tulang manusia dari kubur purba strewed di tengah-tengah runtuhan.

Di dalam biara terdapat gereja Assyria dan semua simbol-simbol Kristian di dalamnya telah dimusnahkan. Di tanah perkuburan gereja, batu nisan telah dibuang dan semua salib dikeluarkan.

Syukurlah, gereja lama yang indah biara ini masih berdiri, tetapi telah dirosakkan dengan teruk. Selepas usahanya untuk menetapkan bangunan terbakar dari dalam, rasuk lama melihat bakaran dan lantai itu ditutup dengan laman dalam bakaran dengan teks-teks Assyria daripada kitab-kitab Kristian.

Krew RT melaporkan banyak gereja Assyria di kawasan itu telah memuat dirobohkan atau rosak teruk.

Tidak ada satu bangunan ditinggalkan dalam Al-Qaryatayn yang dapat melarikan diri dari kerosakan pertempuran.

Sementara itu tentera Syria, dengan bantuan pencari ranjau Rusia, bekerja untuk lombong bandar Palmyra, pengambilan yang diadakan sebagai kedua-dua kemenangan strategik dan simbolik dalam peperangan menentang jihadis.

Selepas IS merampas Palmyra Mei lalu, mereka bukan sahaja dirobohkan objek warisan DUNIA, tetapi direncana dengan muslihat bandar purba keseluruhan dengan bahan letupan, meninggalkan beribu-ribu lombong sebelum pengunduran mereka.

The jihadists apparently used a bulldozer to partially destroy St Elias Monastery, which dates back more than 1,500 years. Human bones from ancient graves are strewed amidst the rubble.

Inside the monastery there is an Assyrian church and all Christian symbols in it have been destroyed. In the church graveyard, the gravestones have been trashed and all the crosses removed.

Thankfully, the monastery’s beautiful old church is still standing, but has been severely desecrated. After an apparent attempt to set the building on fire from inside, the old beams look burnt and the floor is covered with burnt pages with texts in Assyrian from Christian holy books.

RT’s crew reports many Assyrian churches in the area have been either demolished or badly damaged.

There is not one building left in Al-Qaryatayn that has escaped damage from the fighting.

In the meantime Syrian forces, with the help of Russian sappers, are working to de-mine the city of Palmyra, the taking of which is being held up as both a strategic and symbolic win in the battle against the jihadists.

After IS seized Palmyra last May, they not only demolished objects of world heritage, but rigged the entire ancient city with explosives, leaving behind thousands of mines before their retreat.
