Syrian insurgents reach the capital's suburbs. Worried residents flee and stock up on supplies
Summary
Syrian troops withdrew from southern provinces of Daraa and Sweida to reinforce Homs, a key city under threat from insurgents.
The rapid advances by opposition fighters, led by the jihadi Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, aim to overthrow Assad’s government and threaten Syria’s territorial integrity.
The situation is further complicated by the withdrawal of Iran’s military advisers and fighters, leaving Assad’s government with limited access to the outside world.
Homs has already fallen, I know the fog of war is thick and moving insanely fast bur there already in Damascus.
Do you have a source for this?
From what I can tell rebel advances from the south have arrived to the outskirts of Damascus. I don’t see concrete evidence that Homs has fallen. The group advancing southward from the north isn’t the same as the one moving northward from the south.
