Palmyra saved?

The news this morning announced that Palmyra, the great archaeological treasure in Syria was retaken by the Syrian army from ISIS. If true, this is something to be celebrated. Some authorities speculate that the site could be restored in 5 years, but with continuing warfare and a massive refugee problem, that is probably not the top item on Syria's list. Still, as a history buff fascinated with this particular locale, I hope it remains safe from further destruction by fanatics of any stripe and can be opened again to the public.
