過程

2016年3月9日,俄軍開始在巴爾米拉一帶進行猛烈空襲,至次日已有32名伊斯蘭國戰士被炸死。[18]

主要的地面戰鬥在3月12日開始。[8]次日敘軍進攻巴爾米拉城堡所在的Qassoun山。[19]敘軍計劃對巴爾米拉展開三面攻勢進行包圍。[20]

3月15日,政府軍攻佔Hayyan山,[21]距離巴爾米拉不到4公里。[22]連接巴爾米拉和蘇赫奈的道路被俄軍空襲,造成26人喪生。[23]

3月17日,伊斯蘭國乘沙塵暴進行反攻,[24]被敘軍擊退。[5]一名俄軍在該日陣亡。[25]

3月21日,17名敘軍士兵被俄軍導彈誤中喪生。[26]同日,大批國防軍援兵抵達巴爾米拉西郊,使政府軍在該地區的兵力增至超過6,000人。[11]

3月23日,敘軍進至巴爾米拉以南1至2公里處。[27][28]

3月25日早上,親政府部隊攻佔巴爾米拉西面和西北面的數個小山。[29]同日稍後敘軍收復巴爾米拉城堡。[30][31][32]

3月26日,國營電視台報道敘軍攻佔巴爾米拉的3個地區。[33]到3月27日破曉,巴爾米拉完全落入敘軍之手。[6][7]東面市郊仍有零星戰鬥。[34]大部分伊斯蘭國武裝分子向東面撤退。[35]同日稍後,敘軍攻佔監獄和空軍基地,30名伊斯蘭國武裝分子陣亡。[36]

巴爾米拉被收復後,有俄軍抵達當地協助清除伊斯蘭國撤退時佈置的爆炸物。此外,估計有至少280人在伊斯蘭國佔領巴爾米拉期間被處決。[37]

2016年12月11日,伊斯蘭國再次攻佔巴爾米拉。
