Recent Developments in the Syrian Conflict: Rebel Advances Towards Hama
The Syrian conflict has once again escalated, as reports from war monitoring organizations reveal that Syrian opposition fighters have made significant strides surrounding the city of Hama. This movement comes despite a counter-offensive initiated by government forces, and if successful, Hama could prove to be a more significant gain than the already captured Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city. Located about 200 kilometers from the capital, Damascus, Hama is a key strategic target in the ongoing civil war.
