Syrian-Hizballah forces close to capturing Homs

Assad’s army and Hizballah Saturday morning broke into the Khaldiyeh district of Homs, the last remaining rebel stronghold in the northern Syrian city. They go from house to house, executing any rebels they catch. DEBKAfile: The capture of Homs would round off Assad’s war gains in recent months covering a broad swathe of territory from Idlib in the north through Damascus and including the Horan province in the south.
