In a quick-moving turn of events this saturday evening rebel groups pushed into Homs (Syrias third-biggest city) marking a big change in the citys control. The city - which connects main routes between different regions stands as a key-point for both sides.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham forces made their way into city areas; this follows their fast moves up north during past week. The groupʼs fighters are now doing operations right inside Homs‚ changing how things look on-ground.
Pro-government radio station Sham FM says Syrian army units are “moving to city edges“ (which is same words they used when other towns fell to rebels lately); this info comes as reports show government troops leaving central parts. The armyʼs pull-back from inner-city spots means rebels might soon have full control of this important place
