Rebelles conquer Hama: Strategic turn in the Syrian conflict!

In a dramatic turn in the Syrian civil war, Syrian rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of the strategically important city of Hama on Thursday. After several days of violent fights with the troops of the Assad regime, the rebels were able to penetrate the city and prevailed in various neighborhoods, as the observation center for human rights from London reported yesterday. This conquest potentially enables the rebels into the central region of Syria, which could further destabilize the entire military situation.

The Syrian military has confirmed that he has lost control of Hama and plans to withdraw its troops to the city's edges to protect civilians and minimize the conflict in the city. More than 570 people were killed in these fights, including around 100 civilians. The HTS stated that during the offensive, he also took a large prison in Hama and freed hundreds of prisoners. The city of Hama, which lies between Aleppo and Damascus, is of great importance for control over the capital.

The rebels said that civilians were called to leave their apartments in Aleppo, while Syrian state media reported severe losses due to rebel attacks. In the following days, the fights and air raids tightened the situation, but also administered a shock due to the strikingly low resistance of the pro government troops.
