Syrian Rebels Enter Hama As Army Announces Departure From Key City. (13323 Views)

Syrian rebels ousted pro-government forces from Hama on Thursday, bringing the insurgents a major new victory after a lightning advance across northern Syria and dealing a new blow to President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and Iranian allies.

The Syrian army announced that the rebels had entered Hama after intense clashes and said it was redeploying outside the city "to preserve civilians lives and prevent urban combat".
Rebels said they had taken districts in the city's northeast and had seized the central prison, freeing detainees.
Al Jazeera television broadcast what it said were images of rebels inside the city, some of them meeting civilians near a roundabout while others drove in military vehicles and on mopeds.

The rebels took the main northern city of Aleppo last week and have since pushed south from their enclave in northwest Syria, reaching a strategic hill just north of Hama on Tuesday and advancing towards the city's east and west flanks on Wednesday.

Hama has remained in government hands throughout the civil war, which erupted in 2011 as a rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad. Its fall to a revived insurgency would send shockwaves through Damascus and its Russian and Iranian allies.
The city lies more than a third of the way from Aleppo to Damascus and its capture would open the road for a rebel advance on Homs, the main central city that functions as a crossroads connecting Syria's most populous regions.

Inside Hama, the scene of an Islamist uprising that the Assad dynasty crushed in 1982, the internet was cut off and streets emptied on Wednesday according to a resident whose family remain in the city.

That's what happens when conflict is frozen instead of finishing it once and for all
Syria's military was at their peak in 2020 until that useless peace deal by Russia-Turkey, Iran warned about that deal but the Russia President told them not to worry and that the Turkish military would clear the same rebels/Terrorists that the Turkish and Qatar governments are funding.

But how can the Syria military go to sleep like that, they have been watching HTS since 2020 preparing for something like this,
I still don't know how they lost Aleppo and Hama within days.
Peace Time create weak men

Iraqi rebels fought and defeated the Iraqi army.... Libyan rebels fought and defeated the Libyan army ... now the Syrian rebels are running over the Syrian army. What makes these rebels so powerful overnight?

He was begging Israel for help late Wednesday

He went through diplomatic means in Europe, Israel's response was... before they will even consider his plea all Iranian elements must be expelled from the country

Biden the Satan associate
Looks like since he noticed he lost in Ukraine he thought to himself let starts Syria crisis so it can deflect from my failed attempt to remove putin

Putin removed the Satan associate called Biden in white house by hurting his mental health and making Biden become mad while

The American citizens
Removed him by vote because of his sense loss.

So trying to go cause problem in Syria is his last card since....

Mother Russia test it icbm medium range weapons
Which calmed
Biden and put him in his place

Assad will survive this attack and Biden will leave office a failed man who achieved only pain on earth to Ukraine and nato boys that died their, while Russia adds more land to it vast natural oil rich lands

Glory
