Regime forces retreat from centre of strategically important town
Syrian rebel forces on Thursday entered the major city of Hama, which has remained in regime hands through more than 13 years of civil war, after fierce clashes with government forces backed by Russian air strikes. Government forces said they were retreating from the centre of the strategically located city after the insurgents “were able to penetrate several axes in the city and enter it”.
Rebels have been fighting to reach Hama since Tuesday, appearing to encircle the city from the north, east and west, where they clashed with regime forces on Wednesday, according to footage on social media channels linked to the insurgents. The capture of Hama would clear the way for a further rebel push on the centrally located crossroads of Homs. It sits along the strategic highway that connects all four of Syria’s major cities, including the capital Damascus in the south.
