The HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) Islamist rebels in Syria are heading towards the central city of Homs as they seize more territory from government forces. Footage circulating on social media appears to show them advancing towards Homs, which is Syria’s third largest city. They have already taken the cities of Aleppo and Hama since launching their surprise offensive earlier this week. Capturing Homs would bring them a step closer to seizing the capital Damascus.
