Syrian Troops Continue Recapture of Homs

Syrian forces increased their gains in Homs, continuing their weekend offensive.

On Saturday, government forces began a heavy attack on the Khalidiya neighborhood.

The majority of Homs has been held by rebel forces, for over a year, and it had become a symbol of their rebellion.

Over the past few months, government troops have been boosted by international forces, some official, some not.

This has allowed the government to stop rebel advances and begin the recapture of some areas.
