Anti-regime forces advancing toward Hama

The anti-regime forces have been advancing toward Hama since clashes with Assad’s forces erupted on Nov. 27. Engaging regime troops about 5 kilometers (3 miles) outside Hama city center, the opposition groups have taken control of several areas, including Pasif, Elcid, al-Karim, and Hamra.

Additionally, they seized the Armored Corps School near the city center, one of the regime’s key military bases and the main headquarters for the 25th Brigade.

The fighting between Assad’s forces and armed opposition groups began on Nov. 27 in the western countryside of Aleppo, marking a significant re-escalation of the conflict, which had been relatively calm in recent months.

This latest surge in violence comes amid ongoing unrest in Syria, which has been ravaged by nearly 14 years of conflict.
