Syrian Army sends to Hama Countryside “Largest” Military Convoy

On Wednesday, the Syrian army announced the deployment of its “largest” military convoy into the Hama countryside to support frontline troops and secure the area around the 25th Division headquarters and the city of Hama.

Media outlets reported that the Syrian army strengthened its defenses on the northern and western borders of Hama province, engaging in “intense” battles with armed factions and pushing them more than 20 kilometers away from the city’s neighborhoods. The army stated that efforts are underway to reclaim several sites and towns seized by terrorist groups.

Field sources in Hama city told Al-Mayadeen TV that the Syrian army is making advances on multiple fronts, cutting off militants’ supply lines and securing areas they had vacated. They also noted significant popular support for the army’s operations against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its affiliated groups.

Sources reported that militant casualties this week have exceeded 1,600 from HTS and its affiliated groups.

Meanwhile, the Syrian army, with Russian air support, is conducting heavy airstrikes on the Idlib and Aleppo countrysides. The army confirmed that recent explosions in Homs were the result of airstrikes carried out by both Syrian and Russian air forces.

On the other side, opposition militants are holding around 3,000 civilians captive in Aleppo. Reports from Al-Mayadeen TV indicate calls from the city for pressure on the militants to open safe passages for civilians to leave.
