Homs campaign intensifies

July 8, daily star


Syrian government forces kept up an intense nine-day shelling and airstrike campaign against opposition forces in central Homs Sunday, including against a central ancient mosque believed to be hosting dozens of rebel fighters.

Videos released by activists and uploaded to YouTube showed bombs exploding around the densely built area surrounding the 13th-century mosque of Khalid Ibn al-Walid, famous for its domes and two minarets
Attempts to flush out the fighters from the rebel stronghold and the city’s ancient Old City have so far failed, but there are signs the opposition resources are running thin.

In a desperate move, rebels inside Khaldieh recorded videos of themselves strapped with explosive belts, pledging to blow up themselves and their surroundings if regime forces entered the mosque complex.“We have been besieged here for a year and a month now. We have been pounded with missiles, tank shells and warplanes,” one of the fighters says in the video.

“We have not received any kind of arms despite the pledges from the Free Syrian Army and the Arab countries. Where are the Muslims? We had to make these explosive belts because we have no other means to defend ourselves.”

“We have only one weapon left which we have made by our hands; these explosive belts. They will not enter the grave of Khalid bin al-Walid. We will blow up ourselves among them before we allow them to enter the Khaldieh neighborhood.”

Shias are also planning to mutiliate the grave of Khalid bin al walid (RA), may Allah destroy them!
