They are those news that makes you happy all the rest of the day, news that relieves any malaise throughout the rest of the day. Congratulations to the Syrian army and to the brave and formidable Russian air force who is key in all that. Congratulations guys.
I am happy for the victory of Syria and Russia over terrorists and turkish puppets in Hama, while Erdogan in Turkey is disappointed and angry despite his supposed and suspicious victory in his false and tricky query for more powers than he already had. Long live to Syria and Russia with all its allies.

Looks like the SAA kept advancing as long as the extremists were fleeing. Hopefully the SAA can continue forward in the morning and retake a good chunk of the countryside so the extremist defenders to the south start worrying about being cut off.
