Syrian opposition forces, including the Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels, have captured the historic city of Palmyra, located east of Homs. The rebels advanced through the Syrian desert, seizing control of strategic locations including Palmyra, Ghurab mountain, Al-Qaryatayn, and various rocket and missile depots previously held by Assad's forces. This move follows the withdrawal of Syrian army units from the area, marking a significant tactical shift in the ongoing conflict.
