Authorities in the Al-Waer neighborhood of Homs uncovered on Tuesday a field hospital used by militants, a terrorist base and a workshop for manufacturing explosives. The discovery occurred during combing operations in the district after it was cleared of armed militants.

The correspondent said the authorities also uncovered a terrorist base of operations, which included a prison, in addition to a field hospital used by the terrorists.
