Anti-government groups in Syria have taken control of 20 more villages

Fighting continues 5 kilometers from the center of Hama.

Anti-government armed groups clashed with Bashar Assad regime forces about 5 kilometers from the center of the Syrian city of Hama, taking control of 20 more villages.

Anti-government groups led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which have clashed with the Assad regime since November 27, are moving towards the center of Hama province.

The groups outflanked the regime forces about 5 kilometers from the center of Hama and took control of 20 more settlements. The groups also captured the Armored Forces School, the Khattab Arsenal, the Suruj Military Base and the 25th Brigade in the central Hama area.

Anti-government groups, which continue to advance from the north of Hama, are also fighting in the eastern and western directions of the city.

In response, Syrian and Russian forces launched airstrikes on opposition positions in and around Aleppo, but the strikes also resulted in civilian casualties.
