DEBKAfile, Red Cross corridor to Homs - start of foreign intervention in Syria
Debkafile’s military sources report exclusively that it came about after Washington and Ankara warned Assad through confidential channels that if his forces interfered with the emergency medical route for Homs, US and Turkish warplanes would take off from air bases in East Turkey and give the medical convoys air cover, thereby opening the door for a Western-Arab plan for resolving the Syrian crisis.

Somewhere along the line Damascus is going to be leveled.

Isaiah 17:
¹ This message came to me concerning Damascus: “Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
It will become a heap of ruins.
