struktur ke rumahnya.
"Dinding, tingkap, dan pintu juga masih

untuk kembali ke Palmyra."

the roof,” Khudr Hammoud, a 68-year-old retired civil servant, told AFP as he
surveyed the structural damage to his house.
“The walls, the windows, and the door are
also still there, and that’s enough for me to get my family ready to return to
Palmyra.”

Bandar ini adalah rumah kepada kira-kira
70,000 orang sebelum ditawan oleh Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIS/ISIL)
pada bulan Mei tahun lalu. Ia diambil semula oleh tentera Syria dua minggu lalu
dengan bantuan pesawat Rusia dan komando, serta tentera elit Iran.
The city was home to about 70,000 people
prior to its capture by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in May of last
year. It was retaken by the Syrian army two weeks ago with the help of Russian
planes and commandos, as well as elite Iranian troops.

continuing to work on demining the surroundings of the city,” an official
source told AFP. “We will need at least three weeks to rehabilitate the city’s
infrastructure to the extent that residents will be able to spend the night in
their homes.”
