Aug 9, 2014 A city plagued with war and destruction. This is Homs: Syria’s third largest city and the center of the country’s largest province: central Syria. Homs has long made headlines in the course of the Syria unrest. Today the focus is no longer on Homs, especially after a deal in May that brought back the city under the Syrian government control. We are standing in the old city district of Homs city, the city that witnessed heavy fighting between the Syrian government and the foreign backed insurgents behind me you can see Julia palace which was one of the most prominent restaurants in the area that was completely destroyed and used by the insurgents when they were here as a command center for them, today the Syrian Government is trying to reconstruct some of the damages here hoping it will get some of the people to come back and move beyond the very difficult part of history that this city witnessed.
