Syrian army is preparing to start a major operation in parts of Rif Homs in western
Syria, trying to free several villages occupied by militant forces.
According to Al-Alam reporter in Syria, the situation has been deteriorating in al-Zare
village located close to Homs's Talkalakh where militant groups have gained control
over parts of the Homs-Tartous international road, locating snipers and targeting civilians.
Militant groups attacked al-Zare a couple of days ago and fired up its thermal power
station and all of the fuel storages. Our reporter said that volunteer fighters
have joined the army to help them enter al-Zare which has been suffering from constant fighting
in past days. An army commander told our reporter that the
army has been able to clear a way toward village's main entrance after days of fighting which
has left several militants killed. Talkalah was one of the first towns which
were occupied by militant forces in 2011, at the start of the deadly insurgency that
has been going on in Syria for nearly three years.
Syrian people in the occupied towns have been suffering from numerous terrorist gangs and
radical militant groups who have infiltrated their hometowns and imposed their own ruling
systems in each town and village. Anti-government armed groups are feared in
many parts of the country as they show no mercy on people, killing young children and
torturing anyone who does not cooperate with them.
However after months of bloody conflict, the Syrian army has made considerable advancement
in the past months in regaining control over border areas to eliminate smuggling of arms
and forces to the country. As Syrian soldiers, backed by volunteer civilian
fighter are struggling with the ongoing extremist-marked war, charged by several outsider powers, peace
talks are underway in Switzerland between Syrian government and the foreign-backed opposition.
However the talks have been making slow improvements with the Syrian opposition focusing on the
one thing that has strongly been rejected by the government and that is departure of
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Syria sank into war in March 2011 when pro-reform
protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of Western and
regional states. The unrest, which took in terrorist groups
from across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest
conflicts in recent history. Click like,Subscribe and Leave a Comment
