Islamic State militants in Syria severely damaged the Bel Temple, considered one of the greatest sites of the ancient world, in a massive explosion on Sunday, activists said.
It is the second temple Islamic State has targeted in Palmyra this month.
The 2,000-year-old temple was part of the remains of the ancient caravan city in central Syria, seized by IS in May.
