Homs province, the Syrian Observatory for human rights: areas in the towns of Deir Ful and al-Makramiyyeh in the northern countryside of Homs were shelled by the regime forces, no information about injuries, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published on in the last 24 hours that 7 people at least were killed in shelling by the regime forces on areas in Talbiseh city; including a female child and a citizen woman, the casualties are 4 men and a woman of one family, a man and a woman who are brothers.

The Syrian Observatory also published on the 28th of September 2017 that the regime forces targeted Talbiseh city by a second round of shelling after the truce agreement that excluded Talbiseh, also the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published 3 days ago that   the explosions rocked the northern countryside of Homs, and the Syrian Human Rights Observatory learned that the explosions were caused by shelling by the regime forces on areas in Talbiseh city, which injured at least 2 persons and one of them died to his serious injury. This shelling came hours after a truce carried out by a Russian mediation, where the Syrian observatory published hours ago that it was reached a new agreement between representatives of areas in the northern countryside of Homs and representatives of the regime’s authorities, and cross-sources confirmed that the agreement took place after a meeting between these parties in the controlled areas of the regime forces, and included the agreement which stipulates a complete cessation of hostilities, escalation and shelling on 25 village and towns in the northern countryside of Homs, while information obtained about the continuation of the negotiations in order to add more areas of the northern countryside.

And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published previously that the Russian – Egyptian truce which was applied in the northern countryside of Homs and which started on the 3rd of August 2107, broke down on Friday the 10th of August 2017, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published then that a number of reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the truce of the northern countryside of Homs broke down because of the escalation of the violent shelling on areas there, after completing the first week of its implementation in areas in the northern countryside of Homs, where there was conflicting information about the reasons for collapsing the Russian – Egyptian truce to “decrease the level of tension and the military operations in the northern countryside of Homs”, in which parties accused the regime forces that they didn’t conform the agreement of ceasefire in the northern countryside of Homs, while other parties said that this agreement didn’t respond their demands.
