WATCH Daesh Terrorists Wiping Ancient Palmyra Off the Map
Over the past year, Daesh has seized, looted and destroyed several of the world's most important archaeological and cultural sites, including the ancient Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Last month, Russia and the United States brokered a truce between the Syrian government and key opposition forces in Syria.

The ceasefire took effect on February 27 and has largely held so far, despite sporadic violations. It does not apply to terrorist groups operating in the country, mainly Daesh and the Nusra Front.
