Syria’s army has announced its withdrawal from Hama, a city of significant strategic importance in central Syria. This move marks a notable gain for a newly formed rebel coalition, which had recently captured Aleppo. The Syrian military stated that due to intensified confrontations with terrorist groups and the loss of soldiers' lives, these groups managed to penetrate various parts of the city and gain entry.
Aleppo, the country's second-largest city, was seized by rebel factions in a surprise offensive last week, overpowering President Bashar al-Assad’s forces and their allied militias. This offensive dealt a significant blow to Assad and his supporters in Iran and Russia, reigniting a civil war that had been relatively subdued for some time.
