In northwestern Syria, the Syrian Arab Army is actively engaging in operations against terrorist factions, successfully halting their advances and reclaiming strategic territories.
The Syrian Arab Army has made notable advancements by regaining control of critical regions along the administrative boundary between Hama and Idlib. This development represents a significant step forward in the military’s ongoing campaign to stabilize the area in the face of widespread terrorist activities.
The recent progress was marked by a concerted campaign of intensive airstrikes, strategically aimed at positions occupied by terrorist factions, notably near Morek, to the north of Hama. These operations dealt a significant setback to the terrorist elements, resulting in the death of more than 80 militants and injuring numerous others.
In Aleppo, a strategic military engagement at the al-Basel roundabout has significantly undermined terrorist factions, compelling them to concede substantial casualties.
A correspondent from **Al Mayadeen** has conveyed that the Syrian armed forces have successfully reestablished control over the majority of villages in the Hama countryside, thereby strengthening their foothold in the region. Concurrently, operations are in progress to secure the Athraya-Khanaser-Safira route in the southern suburbs of Aleppo.
Nonetheless, tensions continue as armed factions in the area are allegedly obstructing civilians from evacuating al-Safira and hindering the delivery of humanitarian assistance, thereby worsening the dire situation of the local populace.
