In times of great turbulence human sacrifices, particularly children, were made to this father of the gods!
Beginning with the founding of the Phoenician colony of Carthage in about 814 BC, mothers and fathers buried their children who were sacrificed to Baal. The practice was apparently distasteful even to Carthaginians, and they began to buy children for the purpose of sacrifice or even to raise servant children, instead of offering up their own. However, in times of crisis or calamity, like war, earthquakes, drought, or famine, their priests demanded the flower of their youth. http://www.ancientdestructions.com/baalbek-temple-human-sacrifice-worship-baal/

According to the official website of the Institute for Digital Archaeology, the Arch of Palmyra was unveiled on the National Mall on September 26th, and it will remain there until September 29th. You can view a photograph of the arch standing directly in front of the U.S. Capitol building right here.
Institute for Digital Archaeology is an Oxford, Harvard and Museum of the Future Dubai related group that takes digital pictures of archeological sites in order to map them before extinction. They put a mockup of the Entrance Arch to the Temple of Baal in Trafalgar Square last year (Easter no less!) and were going to do the same in Times Square but there was some protest and the project was shelved. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/temple-of-baal-arch-unveiled-today-in-london/
Where are the protesting, picketing Christian clergy? Asleep in the pulpit?

Alright, HennyPenny, since you insist on pushing this as related to human sacrifice, I will flair it as Disinformation.
There is no archaeological evidence that the Arch of Triumph at Palmyra, which was built hundreds of years after the temples were built there and is not an "entrance" to any of them, was anything but a typical victory arch like those erected by Roman conquerors all over the Mediterranean.
This is Fake News you are pushing. Here is what was said about the ISIS destruction of the arch at the time:

This Arch led to the Temple of Baal which was active during the Arch's construction and afterwards The arch was built 202 AD. http://endtimesforecaster.blogspot.com/2016/09/nyc-and-arch-of-triumph-for-whom-will.html The temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire in a campaign against the temples of the East made by Maternus Cynegius, Praetorian Prefect of Oriens, between 25 May 385 to 19 March 388.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Bel

Sorry. The Wikipedia article you just linked says otherwise.
The entrance arch to the temple is a different structure, and it is still standing. Your link has a picture of it.
Why are you pushing this disinfo so hard, even after you've been shown -- with your own links -- this is BS?

No one perhaps can definitely say as history is often written by the censors but if a significant number of stories have this take on it and it is viewed by many as a defiant symbol of paganism, then this is news. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34111092 https://www.newpalmyra.org/models/temple-of-bel/ The Arch of Palmyra, or also known as the Arch of Triumph is essentially the entranceway to the temple of baal. “The Monumental Arch was built sometime during the reign of emperor Septimius Severus, which lasted from 193 to 211 AD; it linked the main street of the Colonnade and the Temple of Bel.” Bel and Baal are the same deities. https://freedomfightertimes.com/end-times/fallen/temple-of-baal-arch-of-triumph-new-york-september/
