The rebels continue their attack on Hama

After successful battles in Aleppo and Idlib, the Syrian rebels continue to challenge Bashar Assad's regime and are heading towards Hama. They are currently located about 20 km from the city center, and battles are ongoing.

On the evening of November 30, the rebels captured the city of Khan Shaykhun in southern Idlib and continue to advance, occupying several settlements in northern Hama. In addition, they have taken control of the important area of Morik on the M5 highway.

There are also reports of gunfire in the Syrian capital, Damascus. There are fears of a possible coup against Assad's government. Reports are also coming in about the activation of sleeper agents in various cities.

According to a report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in London, a horrific massacre occurred at the Al-Bazal intersection in the city of Aleppo. It is likely that Russian fighters, which were armed in Russia, caused this incident. As a result of the attack, at least 16 civilians were killed and 20 were injured.

Since the start of the 'Containment of Aggression' operation, which began on November 27, 327 people have been killed, including civilians and fighters from the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo.

Bombardments are being carried out by the Russian Air Force. As a result of airstrikes, seven fighters from the 'National Army,' supported by Turkey, were killed in the rural area of Mare' to the east of Aleppo.

Syrian government forces stated that they have left Aleppo for regrouping and a counteroffensive against the rebels. However, it has been reported that Syrian rebels with the group 'Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham' control Aleppo.

The civil war in Syria has been ongoing since 2011 and began as a local confrontation that turned into a rebellion against Assad's government. This conflict involves not only the main states of the region but also international organizations and various movements. The conflicting parties receive military aid from various countries.

Russia and Iran support the government forces, while the opposition receives support from the West, Turkey, and Gulf countries. The Lebanese group 'Hezbollah,' which is supported by Iran and holds significant power in Syria, is also participating in the conflict.
