At least 50 people have died in Syria following government airstrikes Saturday on a residential area of Douma, a city northeast of Damascus. Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed Islamic State has destroyed the ancient Baalshamin Temple in the Syrian city of Palmyra. News agencies reported the destruction occurred Sunday, although the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the temple was destroyed by ISIL last month.
