Syrian Defence Minister Fahd al-Freij has visited army troops
in Khaldiyeh, a Homs district the army won back from rebel control in
late July, state news agency SANA said on Monday.
The general conducted "a tour of Khaldiyeh, where he visited the army units that had restored security and stability in the neighbourhood," SANA said.
The army's takeover of Khaldiyeh came after an intense month-long campaign of daily air and artillery shellings.
It was also the regime's second military success since June when it captured the rebel-held town of al-Qusayr in Homs province with help from Lebanon's Shia movement Hezbollah.
"Liberating Khaldiyeh is proof of great heroism," Freij told soldiers. "Facing terrorists in the narrow streets of this district, to cleanse the buildings, is a great military exploit."
"We are determined to chase down the criminals in order to save the country," he added.
