Thirty pro-Assad forces killed in Nusra-led attack in Homs
2015-09-30
[ARA] Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Nusra Front launched an offensive on headquarters of the regime army forces in the central province of Homs, military sources reported on Tuesday.

Rebels of Nusra Front attacked regime headquarters in several villages in the northern countryside of Homs, using heavy artillery and mortars.

"Our fighters hit strongholds of pro-Assad forces with dozens of shells and missiles on Tuesday, killing more than thirty forces," Nusra front man in Homs Hassan Abbara told ARA News on the phone.

Nusra hard boyz bombed regime headquarters in the villages of Ghadibiyah and Khifes north of Homs.

Abbara said the operations come as a response to the regime Arclight Arclight airstrikes on residential areas in the rebel-held neighborhoods in Homs.

"Pro-Assad forces have committed dozens of massacres against innocent civilians in Homs. We want to prove to this tyrannical regime that those peaceful civilians are not alone," the Nusra front man said.

In the meantime, festivities renewed between regime forces and hard boyz of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) in the vicinity of al-Shaer oil field in Homs province. ISIS hard boyz have been striving to take over the oil field for months as battles continue between them and regime army forces.

Pro-Assad forces are in control of the city of Homs, except the Waer district which is held by the rebel fighters. Major parts of the northern countryside are also under the rebels' control, while most of the eastern countryside is held by ISIS hard boys.
