Syrian army has stripped out rebels from their revolution capital

Western backed rebels in Syria are fleeing from their strongholds
While a trip to the focal point of al- Khalidieh district in the central province of Homs, a reporter of Xinhua reported that, they walked through the rubble-strewn streets of the hard-battered district, 'Not a single building was standing still'. 

He reported that the destruction was so on wide scale that everything looked as if the doom day had a tryout on this spot of Homs, which seemed empty of everything, but the smell of death and the rattling sound of explosions echoing from a distance. 

Similar scenes of destruction were seen before in al-Qussair town in Homs where the Syrian army also unleashed a ferocious offensive to retrieve it from the rebels last month. 

The Syrian army announced Monday that its troops successfully regained full control over al-Khalidieh "after a series of precise operations" there it further vowed that army would continue its “heroic” operations to purge all Syrian soil from terrorism. 

One soldier told reporters that ,"Al-Khalidieh is one hundred percent secure now, but some snipers of the rebels are still nesting in nearby rebellious neighborhoods so you better be careful before standing in an open area,"
