JNN 04 July 2013 Damascus – The Syrian army made major advances in the Central city of Homs and purged armed rebels from the area on Wednesday.

The army advanced in al-Khalediya district of Homs approaching Khaled bin al-Walid mosque today.

The Syrian troops prevented the armed rebels from escaping to Homs Bab al-Saba district from al-Varsha and al-Safsafeh areas.

Meantime, the Syrian army killed several terrorists and injured many others in heavy clashes in al-Hawleh, al-Tayebe, Tal al-Zahab, al-Rastan and Talbisa of Homs city.

Earlier the Syrian army has taken full control of the al-Eyn farmlands on the outskirts of the central city of Homs.

The army said it took full control of the district on Monday and it has already mopped up pockets of foreign-backed militants in several neighborhoods of the strategic city, killing a large number of them.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have conducted a fierce three-day assault against Foreign Terrorist in the central city of Homs.

Beside these good news, there are also bad news today. Some foreign-backed and probably also CIA-sponsored jihadists were able to carry out a car bomb attack in the once beautiful city of Hama. The bomb exploded near a known cultural center in the city of Hama. At least, so far there are no information about injured or dead civilians due to this car bomb attack in Hama.

Government forces have also made significant gains in other battlefields across the crisis-hit country.

Anti-Syria Takfiri extremists have been behind many of the deadly bombings targeting both civilians and government institutions across the Arab state since the outbreak of the violence.

Turmoil has gripped Syria for over two years, and many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, have been killed in the foreign-sponsored militancy.

On June 22, foreign ministers of the countries supporting the terrorists in Syria, including Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United States, agreed to provide them with more weapons.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May, 2012 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

According to the report, material is being stockpiled in Damascus, in Idlib near the Turkish border and in Zabadani on the Lebanese border.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against the Syrian police, border guards, statesmen, army and the civilians being reported across the country.

Thousands of people have been killed since terrorist and armed groups turned protest rallies into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

In October 2011, calm was almost restored in most parts of the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies brought the country into chaos through every possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.

Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons – most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past – has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
