As Syrian rebels took control of Homs, armed opposition fighters seized regime positions in Daraa province in the south of Syria and the main border crossing with Jordan.
Kurdish-led fighters, who already controlled most of northeastern Syria, said Friday they had moved into eastern areas formerly held by the government as Syrian troops withdrew.
Gaza's civil defence agency said 29 people were killed on Friday in Israeli strikes near the Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahia, where Israel is pressing a major offensive.
The Israeli military denied reports of the strike, saying it was operating "adjacent" to the facility.
