据《新阿拉伯》(The New Arab)报道，叛军已完全控制霍姆斯市：Syrian rebel commander Hassan Abdul Ghany said early on Sunday that insurgent forces "fully liberated" Syria's central city of Homs.周日(12月8日) 早些时候，叙利亚叛军指挥官哈桑·阿卜杜勒·加尼(Hassan Abdul Ghany)说，叛军“完全解放了”叙利亚中部城市霍姆斯(Homs)。A large military convoy was seen leaving the city, with reports that some army and security commanders fled by helicopter to the coastal region, a regime stronghold.有人看到一支大型军车队正撤离霍姆斯，同时有报道称，一些军队指挥官和安全指挥官乘直升机逃往叙利亚政权的一个沿海地区，此地是叙利亚政权的一个据点。Dozens of fighters from Hezbollah's Radwan force, who have been in Syria for years to back the regime in the conflict, also fled Homs after the decision was taken with the army that the city could no longer be defended, Syrian army officers told Reuters.几名叙利亚军官告诉路透社记者，叙军判定已无法防守霍姆斯后，数十名来自真主党拉德万部队的战斗人员也逃离了霍姆斯，他们多年来一直在叙利亚冲突中支持叙利亚政权。 In the capital Damascus, the Syrian army said it was strengthening its defence lines Saturday after rebels said they were drawing close, amid reports that President Bashar Al-Assad is "nowhere to be seen" in the capital, with speculation he has fled abroad.在首都大马士革，叙利亚军队周六(12月7日)表示正在加强防线，因为叛军称他们正在接近，有报道称，在首都的叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德“不知所踪”，人们猜测他已逃往国外。Assad was rumoured to make a speech to the nation at 8pm local time, but a televised broadcast was instead made by a military spokesperson.据传，阿萨德原本将于当地时间晚上8点(注：相当于北京时间12月8日凌晨1点)向全国发表讲话，但结果却是叙利亚军方发言人发表电视讲话。据《每日邮报》(The Daily Mail)报道，叛军已抵达大马士革郊区，正向城区推进：Syrian opposition fighters have reached the suburbs of the Damascus capital for the first time since the region was recaptured by government troops in 2018, as president Bashar al-Assad's regime nears collapse. 在巴沙尔·阿萨德总统的政权濒临崩溃之际，叙利亚反对派战士抵达首都大马士革郊区，这是自2018年叙利亚政府军收复该地区以来的首次。One resident said the city was on edge, with security forces on the streets and many shops running out of staple foods.一位当地居民说，这座城市人心惶惶，安全部队在街上巡逻，许多商店的主食都卖光了。The Syrian army withdrew from much of the country's south on Saturday but later said it was fortifying positions in the Damascus suburbs and in the south.叙利亚军队周六(12月7日)撤出了叙利亚南部的大部分地区，但随后又表示正在加固大马士革郊区和南部的阵地。据《半岛电视台》(Al Jazeera)报道，叙利亚首都大马士革沦陷只是时间问题：Opposition fighter may find the borders of Damascus “fortified” because the Syrian regime says its “entire army” is now gathering there, journalist Nour Qormosh tells Al Jazeera from Idlib.记者努尔·乔尔莫什(Nour Qormosh)从伊德利卜省(Idlib)告诉半岛电视台，反对派部队可能会发现大马士革的边界“被加固”了，因为叙利亚政权称其“全部军队”现在都聚集在那里。 “But [the regime] actually said the same thing about Homs, and they have said the same thing about Hama, and they’ve said the same thing about Aleppo. So, we don’t know if that’s actually true or not,” Qormosh added.乔尔莫什补充道：“实际上，对霍姆斯市，叙利亚政权也是这么说的，对哈马(Hama)市也是这么说的，对阿勒颇市(Aleppo)也是这么说的。因此，我们不知道这是否属实。”The opposition forces do have a “major advantage” because Damascus is now under siege, Qormosh added. “It’s actually going to be very difficult for the Syrian regime to fight all of those frontlines and I believe it’s going to be only a matter of time before the city falls.”乔尔莫什还说，反对派武装确实拥有“重大优势”，因为大马士革现在已被围困。实际上，叙利亚政权很难在所有这些前线作战，我相信大马士革的沦陷只是时间问题。
