FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

An official at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Thursday that the armed groups fired at the International Red Crescent and the Syrian Red Cross delegation that wanted to evacuate the wounded, the elders, children and women from the city, SANA news agency reported.

According to officials, up to 5,000 civilians have been taken hostage in Homs and are in need of immediate help.

However, the presence of the armed gangs has made operation of international and local agencies impossible.

The Syrian army earlier launched an operation to cleanse Homs from the armed groups. The military has reportedly halted its operation to avoid civilian casualties.

The unrest in Syria began in March 2011.

The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters, but Damascus blames “outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
