Rebels advance toward Damascus, capture areas in Homs

According to reports, rebels opposing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have entered the outskirts of the city of Homs.

Anadolu Agency reported on Friday, December 6, that the rebels are advancing toward Damascus from the strategically important Homs province.

The report indicates that these groups, which have taken control of the districts of Rastan and Talbiseh in the Homs region, have now entered the western areas of the city center.

It is noteworthy that clashes between Syrian security forces and the rebels began on November 27 this year in the western outskirts of Aleppo province in northern Syria.

Homs is the third-largest city in Syria.

The report further mentions that after capturing Hama, the rebels have moved toward Homs, another major city that connects Damascus to the northern part of the country.

This advance by the rebels in the Homs region marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The capture of strategic areas near Homs could pave the way for further confrontations as the rebels push toward the capital, Damascus.

The situation in Syria remains volatile, with shifting control over key cities and regions continuing to shape the course of the civil war. The ongoing clashes highlight the complex nature of the conflict, with multiple factions vying for power and control across the country.
