On Friday, November 27, opposition forces that launched an operation against Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria gained control in Hama after Aleppo, Idlib, and Tel Rifaat.
This development has caused panic in the Assad regime, while military sources reported that Syrian armed groups are currently 48 km away from the center of Homs, the largest province in Syria.
ASSAD REGIME BOMBED A CRITICAL BRIDGE
According to a breaking news report from AFP, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that the Assad regime's airstrikes targeted a critical bridge connecting the cities of Homs and Hama, and that the Syrian army is trying to secure Homs after losing Hama.
“THEY TRIED TO CUT OFF THE ROAD BETWEEN HAMA AND HUMS”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated, "Fighter jets conducted several airstrikes targeting the Al-Rastan bridge on the Homs-Hama highway, which connects the cities of Homs and Hama, and attacked positions around the bridge, trying to cut off the road between Hama and Homs and secure the city of Homs."
200 MILITARY VEHICLES PULLED BACK TO HUMS
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported to Al-Arabiya/Al-Hadas that the city of Talbiseh in the rural area of Homs is also in the hands of the groups. It also confirmed that more than 200 military vehicles were pulled back from southern Hama to Homs.
HUMS GOVERNOR: WE HAVE TAKEN ALL NECESSARY MEASURES
Meanwhile, Syrian television reported the words of the Homs Governor, stating, "We have taken all necessary measures to ensure security in the province." These developments came after the Syrian army admitted to losing the strategic city of Hama and announced that its military units stationed in the city had "repositioned and moved outside the city."
DAMASCUS INSURANCE
According to Al Arabiya, after losing control in Hama, which is considered strategic for the Syrian army, the security of the capital Damascus, located approximately 219 kilometers to the south, needs to be ensured. According to the Syrian Observatory, the death toll of civilians and military personnel in the first conflicts of this scale in Syria since 2020 has risen to 826. According to information confirmed by David Cardin, the Deputy Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis at the United Nations, this situation has also led to the displacement of more than 110,000 people in the north of Idlib and Aleppo.
