On December 26, 2024, violent clashes broke out in Syria between remnants of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants in the Tartous governorate. The violence escalated after 14 HTS militants were killed in an ambush, attributed to former government loyalists. Amid ongoing unrest, protests erupted across Syria, particularly by the Alawite and Christian communities, following incidents like the desecration of an Alawite shrine and the burning of a Christmas tree. The HTS-led authorities imposed curfews in response, and sectarian tensions continued to rise.

The Syrian Army has evacuated the city of Hama after jihadist forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, seized control following intense clashes. The insurgents' victory marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict, as Hama had remained under government control throughout the civil war. The jihadist leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, pledged that there would be no revenge on the city's residents, despite the historical context of Hama's prior uprisings. The Syrian Army's retreat aims to preserve civilian lives and avoid further urban combat, but the loss of this key city is a major blow to President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
