The 2015 Homs car bombing was a car bombing that killed 16, and injured many more. A second, delayed explosion occurred near a hospital in Syria's mainly Alawite, government-controlled neighborhood of al-Zahra, east of Homs' old city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports. The attack came five days after the government and rebels agreed on a local ceasefire in the western al-Waer suburb.[1][2][3][4] [5][6]
