Militants led by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) renewed their attack on the city of Hama on December 4 afternoon in the framework of their large-scale offensive against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in northwestern Syria, codenamed Operation Deterrence of Aggression.
The militants advanced from the east of Hama city, reportedly capturing the towns of Rasm al-Baghl, Awija, al-Ayur, and Kasoun al-Jabal. Another push was made towards the western outskirts of the city, with the towns of al-Shir, Soubin, Zour al-Jadeed and Khirbet al-Hijama reportedly falling into the hands of the militants.
There were also reports of the militants advancing in the northwestern Hama countryside and capturing the towns of al-Amqiyah, al-Hawash, al-Huwaija, al-Hamra, Jisr Beit al-Ras, al-Manara, al-Huwaiz, al-Sharia, Al-Tuwaina, and Huwaija al-Sil in the al-Ghab Plain
From its side, the SAA said in a brief statement that its units were clashing with HTS and its allies across the northern Hama countryside, adding that heavy Syrian and Russian airstrikes targeted the militants in the area over the last few hours.
Some 300 militants, including foreigners, were killed in the clashes, according to the military, which noted that some 25 drones were also shot down.
HTS and its allies have been attempting to storm Hama city for the last few days with no success. The SAA amassed a large force around the city and built multiple defense lines. However, this will not likely deter the militants.
The success of Operation Deterrence of Aggression in both Aleppo and Idlib will likely encourage the militants to keep the pressure on Hama.

al ciaduh and mo$$ad filth getting incinerated is always good news. now let the zionazi abomination get whacked by iran and finally clean syria of anglozionazi empowered vermin
no more seaport for ruzzian nazis 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
you shouldn’t drink so much: the nazis are the ukrops, and by extension also these hts radical jihadists. both are controlled by the global evil: the us administration and the zionist israeli regime.
🫵🤡 😆😆😆
rebels cut road from hama to salamiyah and also hama-raqqa road. the only remaining road between iran/iraq and damascus is going trough suknah. if that is cut, bashar forces will be cut in two.
good to know, it will be a fight to the end anyway🔚
erdogan needs to be made to pay a colossal price for his endless backstabbing. there can be no negotiations or concessions to this snake. he is to a very large extent responsible for the hundreds of thgousands of syrians who have died at the hands of the head choppers he has supported and hosted. he also needs to be made to pay for arming ukraine and sending jihadi head choppers to fight in ukraine. he needs to be punished – hard – with every stunt he pulls.
no gas hub, no nuclear power plant, no turkish companies given contracts in russia, no agricultural imports, no tourism. the turk economy is very shaky, and any or all of these would inflict massive pain on this snake. rewarding him for this behaviour is the worst thing possible. the turks and their head choppers should have been cleared out of idlib 5 years ago.
don’t just say it gives him a ring 😁
honestly, iran should be shipping its entire irgc to syria right now. i am talking full scale support. they lose syria, they lose all. iraq might even fall. hiz will starve to death, literally. iran has an enormous army but theyare so backwards and ill-equipped and -led that they might even suspect that a deplyment will lead to an even worse disaster.
maybe in the peak time of isis. but today the enemy is clear and the soldiers are well equipped. the only fatal failure is to believe that the satanists want peace.
🫵🤡 😆😆😆.
trump peace plan will only save his term and then syrian kurst incursion style attack will be lunch against russia.trump anyway wont be long in the seat secret agents are going to kill him.
erdogan must be made to pay for his crimes.
