Syrian rebels take former military stronghold
- 12 years ago
A stream of gunfire rings out across the town of Talbisah, near Homs.
This amateur video - which cannot be independently verified by Reuters - appears to show the moment when Syrian rebels capture a former military stronghold.
A row of army tanks appears to have been abandoned, reinforcing the rebels' claim that they have managed to seize control of the area.
But more amateur video uploaded to social media websites on Wednesday show shells crashing down over the town, suggesting that clashes are ongoing.
