Syria army to regain full Homs control

The Syrian army has turned its focus to regaining control over those last areas of the western city of Homs that are still under the control of the foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists.

According to Press TV, the Syrian forces regained control of the strategic Khaldiyeh District of Homs on Wednesday. The army managed to recapture the district after one month of battle with the insurgents.
On July 28, the Syrian army announced that it had gained control of most of Khaldiyeh, a day after Syrian forces captured the district’s Khalid bin Walid Mosque.
The army said the insurgents had been using the mosque as a bastion and had planted tens of explosive devices inside the building.
A Syrian soldier said “We are now in the east of Khalid bin Walid Mosque, after we concluded our operation in Khaldiyeh and pushed the armed men into other districts of the old city. We will chase them there. We eliminated many of them here and as the operation goes on, we will eliminate their remnants who are currently present in Qarabis and Varsha districts.”
In June, Syrian forces launched a mop-up operation in Homs to recapture the areas held by the insurgents.
