BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:35 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) finally achieved a major break-through in the eastern countryside of Homs today, liberating one of the most important areas south of the T-4 Military Airport.

Led by the 5th Legion and Liwaa Suqour Al-Sahra (Desert Hawks Brigade), the Syrian Armed Forces entered the Qasr Al-Hayr area of east Homs last night, liberating most of it by   Wednesday morning.

The Syrian Armed Forces would liberate all of Qasr Al-Hayr this afternoon, following the collapse of the Islamic State’s (ISIS) final line of defense at the southern flank of this important area near the T-4 Airport and Al-Quraytayn.

In addition to liberating Qasr Al-Hayr, the Syrian Armed Forces also seized the small town of Ba’er Fiddah and its corresponding farms.

As a result of today’s advance, the Syrian Arab Army is now in position to attack the Al-Bardah area, which they already overlook from the northern flank.

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
