The director of Palmyra hospital, Walid Audi, said the dead were 46 civilians and seven soldiers. Five people who were wounded were transferred to another hospital. One of the survivors told SANA that ISIL fighters had burned their cars.
If confirmed that ISIL was responsible, the attack would mark the deadliest by the group since January 2022 when its fighters stormed a prison in the Kurdish-controlled northeastern city of Hassakeh in a bid to free fellow ISIL members.
