Northern Homs offensive (April–May 2018)
Offensive by the Syrian Armed Forces / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern Homs offensive was launched by the Syrian Armed Forces against the rebel pocket in the northern Homs Governorate and the southern Hama Governorate on 15 April 2018. It came after the defeat of the rebel forces in the final government offensive against rebels in eastern Ghouta. Following negotiations with Syrian and Russian military officials, rebels surrendered the northern Homs pocket on 2 May,[14] and those who refused to stay were fully evacuated on 16 May. Subsequently, the Syrian government regained full control of the area.[1]
