Syrian government forces bolstered by Lebanese Hezbollah
forces were poised on Sunday to retake the largest rebel-held district
of the country's third city Homs, a watchdog and state media said.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said troops now controlled most of Khaldiyeh after a month-long assault and were battling insurgents on its outskirts.
The military moves came a day after they expelled rebels from a 13th century landmark mosque they controlled for more than a year.
State-run Syrian TV broadcast live coverage from Khaldiyeh, an embattled northern neighborhood in Homs, where the army has been advancing.
Activists said most of the buildings in the mainly residential district were no longer fit to live in.
