(Aref TAMMAWI \/ AFP)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><hr><\/p><p><b>Syrian rebels take Homs, advance into Damascus as Hezbollah ousted from key border city<\/b>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA stunning march across Syria by insurgent rebels accelerated Saturday with news that they had reached the gates of the capital Damascus after capturing a key central city of Homs, sending government forces and fighters from the Iran-backed Hezbollah into a hasty retreat. In a sign of the regime&#8217;s tenuous grip on power, the government was forced to deny rumors that President Bashar al-Assad had fled the country.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe loss of Homs was a potentially crippling blow for Assad. It stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria&#8217;s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus &#8211; the Syrian leader&#8217;s base of support and home to a strategic Russian naval base.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nSouth of Homs, rebels also captured the smaller city of al-Qusayr, which had been held by the Iran-backed Hezbollah since the terror group captured it while fighting in support of Assad. The city sits next to a border crossing with Lebanon considered to be a major smuggling route used by Hezbollah to bring in Iranian arms, with Israel allegedly carrying out a number of strikes in the area, including one late last week.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHezbollah, still smarting after two months of punishing attacks by Israel that wiped out much of the group&#8217;s leadership and arsenal, withdrew from al-Qusayr before rebel forces seized it, Syrian army sources said on Sunday.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAt least 150 armored vehicles carrying hundreds of Hezbollah fighters left the city, the sources said. Israel bombed one of the convoys as it was departing, one source said.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThere was no comment from Jerusalem. In a statement late Thursday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa&#8217;ar said Israel &#8220;is not intervening in the internal conflict in Syria.&#8221;\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe statement came after the army said it would bolster its troop presence along the Syrian border with the Golan Heights as rebel groups moved in on the area. The Israel Defense Forces also said it was helping United Nations peacekeepers on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights repel an attack by gunmen near the town of Hader, close to the Israeli border.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe loss of a foothold in Syria would mark a major blow to Hezbollah, which has relied on the country as a main conduit to Iran. Both Tehran and Hezbollah, together with Russia, were key allies that helped Assad repel earlier rebel advances, but all three have hesitated to answer his pleas for help beating back the insurgents.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA source close to Hezbollah told AFP that the organization&#8217;s fighters had been told to abandon posts in and around Homs and outside Damascus as well. Some were sent back to Lebanon, while others redeployed to Latakia, which Assad is widely expected to attempt to hold on to.\r\n<\/p><p><\/p><p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/upload\/1\/sites\/img_37401h_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%\"><figcaption>Cidad\u00c3\u00a3os s\u00c3\u00adrios caminham em frente ao pr\u00c3\u00a9dio do Banco Central S\u00c3\u00adrio em Damasco, S\u00c3\u00adria, s\u00c3\u00a1bado, 7 de dezembro de 2024.

Analysts said rebel control of Homs would be a game-changer.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe pro-government Sham FM news outlet reported that government forces took positions outside Homs, Syria&#8217;s third-largest city, without elaborating. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies withdrew from the city.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThousands of Homs residents poured onto the streets after the army withdrew from the central city, dancing and chanting &#8220;Assad is gone, Homs is free&#8221; and &#8220;Long live Syria and down with Bashar al-Assad.&#8221;\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nRebels fired into the air in celebration, and youths tore down posters of the Syrian president, whose territorial control has collapsed in a dizzying week-long retreat by the military.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe fall of Homs gives the insurgents control over Syria&#8217;s strategic heartland and a key highway crossroads, severing Damascus from the coastal region that is the stronghold of Assad&#8217;s Alawite sect and where his Russian allies have a naval base and air base.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHoms&#8217; capture is also a powerful symbol of the rebel movement&#8217;s dramatic comeback in the 13-year-old conflict. Swathes of Homs were destroyed by grueling siege warfare between the rebels and the army years ago. The fighting ground down the insurgents, who were forced out.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHayat Tahrir al-Sham commander Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the main rebel leader, called the capture of Homs a historic moment and urged fighters not to harm &#8220;those who drop their arms&#8221;.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nRebels freed thousands of detainees from the city prison. Security forces left in haste after burning their documents.\r\n<\/p><p><\/p><p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>Published in 12\/08\/2024 08h12<\/em><\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/?page_id=16912\">Portuguese version<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Original article:<\/p>\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/liveblog-december-8-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/liveblog-december-8-2024\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position: buttonline;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/rodape_sites.php\"arg=37401\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"420px\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"position: buttonline;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/comentario_navegacao.php\"arg=37401\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"500px\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"position:absolute; width:40%; height:70px; top:-70px; left:0px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/oferta_site_esq.php\"arg=37401\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"position:absolute; width:40%; height:70px; top:-70px; right:0px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/oferta_site_dir.php\"arg=37401\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"100%;\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/jagsystem.com\">\r\n<div style=\"position:absolute; height:200px; width:94%; left:3%; text-align:center; border-color: white; border-radius: 5px; border-style: solid;\">\r\n<table width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"><tr><td width=\"30%\" align=\"right\">Geoprocessing<br>Drone Systems<br>HPC<\/td><td width=\"30%\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vendedoradesonhos.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/logo_branco_jag6.png\" vspace=\"20\" width=\"250\" border=\"0\">\r\n<\/td><td width=\"30%\" align=\"left\">ERP and CRM Systems<br>Mobile Systems<br>AI<\/td><\/tr><\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/a><br><br><br><br>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":169,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1044","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1044\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/israelagora.com.br\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
