Syrian Rebels Capture Hama: Assad’s Forces Withdraw as HTS Gains Ground in Major Jihadist Offensive
In a stunning development, the Syrian military has withdrawn from the key city of Hama as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants seized control following intense battles.
The Syrian government's retreat came after a series of heavy clashes, with the military choosing to prioritize civilian safety over further conflict.
Footage shows HTS fighters entering the city, celebrating their victory, and continuing their advance in the region.
With this shift in control, the situation for President Bashar al-Assad's forces grows increasingly precarious.
The international community watches closely as these developments mark a critical point in Syria's ongoing conflict.

The Syrian city of Deir al-Zawr has fallen under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants, marking the third major city to slip from government hands in a week. This dramatic shift follows a series of swift and coordinated HTS offensives, compounded by the withdrawal of U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Simultaneously, Israel has launched an unprecedented military blitz across Syria, targeting 480 strategic sites within 48 hours, including airports, air bases, and suspected chemical weapons facilities. The dual assault has left the Syrian regime’s military infrastructure severely weakened, raising concerns about regional stability and the broader implications of escalating international involvement.

In a devastating week-long military campaign, Syrian forces, backed by Russian airstrikes, eliminated 2,500 fighters from the extremist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (H.T.S). This retaliatory strike is a major blow to the terrorist organization as the Syrian regime intensifies its efforts to reclaim control over rebel-held areas. With escalating violence and continued airstrikes, the region faces an uncertain future. Meanwhile, Iran begins evacuating key military personnel and diplomats from Syria amid the growing conflict. The situation is rapidly evolving, and major retaliations are expected in the coming days.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban initiated a crucial phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the ongoing Ukraine war. This diplomatic exchange comes just days after Orban's meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed his intention to broker a peace deal swiftly once in office. Orban, known for his close ties with both Trump and Putin, is seeking to navigate Europe through what he calls the "most dangerous days" of the conflict. Despite facing internal and EU opposition, Orban has remained a staunch advocate for peace talks and has refrained from sending military aid to Ukraine. The call with Putin is part of his broader strategy to find a diplomatic solution to the war, while also discussing energy projects and Hungary's continued dependence on Russian energy despite European sanctions.
