Syrian Army Takes Homs District of Khalidiya
The Syrian Army today ended the first phase of it’s assault on insurgent positions in Homs.
Ten days after the ferocious assault which has so far wiped out militant groups in the city, the Syrian army announced that it had full control over the Khalidya district and is on track to take Bab Hood.
Despite the discovery of tunnels and attacks from sniper positions, the Syrian army has speedily moved through Homs, with sources in the insurgency describing developments being “as bad as it was in Al-Qusayr” – where deeply entrenched militants were routed.
