On the other hand, the military wing of armed groups, including Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), stated that their forces have advanced to the outskirts of Homs city in central Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Al-Arabiya that multiple fronts of conflict are expected in the Homs region. However, the armed factions have not yet entered Homs city itself.
