Images on the internet show rubble where the minaret stood. Lina Sergie Attar is an architect from Aleppo who now lives in the United States. She told the BBC it was a significant loss.

“The Umayyad Mosque, or the Great Mosque of Aleppo, is one of the largest and oldest mosques in Syria, and it’s probably the second most visited site by tourists to Aleppo after the Citadel. It’s also a sacred place. It holds the remains of the Prophet Zakariya, the father of John the Baptist, a revered figure to Muslims and Christians alike. And it’s very sad and devastating to see something that was so special to our city gone.”
