Syrian anti-government rebels were closing in on the city of Homs on Friday, as they gained new ground in a fresh offensive against President Bashar al-Assad.
This has led to tens of thousands of people fleeing Homs, Syria’s third-largest city.
The rebels seized Hama to the north on Thursday, a second major blow to President Bashar al-Assad who lost control of Aleppo last week.
Their goal is to overthrow Assad’s regime, the leader of Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham said.
Meanwhile, Kurdish-led forces have also reportedly seized control of Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria.
