Syrian army forces advanced Friday around rebel-held areas of the Old City of Homs, as a car bomb hit a regime-controlled part of the city, killing 14 people. Around 1,200 rebel fighters and nearly 200 civilians are believed to be inside the rebel-held parts of the Old City, under army siege for nearly two years. Syrian authorities refer to all those seeking the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad as "terrorists." The source added that regime forces had seized a church in the Old City. State news agency SANA said the army had seized buildings in the Bab Hud and Wadi al-Sayeh districts and "killed a number of terrorists in Homs city and around it." Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed the advance, saying the army was shelling Bab Hud and Wadi al-Sayeh.
