You truly appreciate how happy this is when watching footage of freed political prisoners.

8/ Salamia, a city with a minority population long-claimed as loyal to Assad, has negotiated a peaceful handover to rebel forces. The city's residents will not resist, ensuring their safety. #Salamia #Syria

7/ Signs of Normalcy: In Aleppo, there are reports that the private sector and markets have reopened and are operating as usual. This offers a glimmer of hope for a return to normalcy in liberated areas. #Aleppo

6/ HTS Leader's Announcement: In a significant development, the leader of HTS has begun using his real name, abandoning his nom de guerre, Al-Joulani. He has also declared that HTS will be disbanded and all armed groups will return to their barracks, handing over governance to civilian committees.

5b/ Unofficial sources suggest his forces have retreated to Tartus on the coast, not to nearby Homs or Damascus. This could signal a major shift in the war's momentum.

5/ Strategic Implications: The loss of Hama is a critical blow to Assad. This is a piece of news saying The Syrian Army: Entry of the largest military convoy into the Hama countryside: www.skynewsarabia.com/middle-east/...

4/ A City's Liberation: Footage shows residents of Hama welcoming the rebel forces with open arms. There are reports of people being released from Assad's prisons who have been held for decades, some since the 1980s. #FreeSyria

3/ Assad's Continued Repression: During the recent revolution, Assad's forces responded to protests in Hama with violence, kidnappings, and killings. Families were forced to bury loved ones in public parks due to the regime's brutality. youtu.be/az6h1VdtdO4?...

2/ Hama's Tragic Past: Hama holds a deeply painful history for Syrians. In 1982, Assad's father brutally crushed an uprising, killing an estimated 15,000-35,000 civilians. Every family in Hama carries the scars of those events. www.theguardian.com/theguardian/... #HamaMassacre

1/ Hama City Freed: Huge news from Syria today! Hama city has been liberated by rebel forces. This is a major turning point in the conflict, given the city's history and the significant defenses the Assad regime had built there. www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/m... #Syria #Hama

No one knows for sure what the deal behind the recent advances in #Aleppo is or where it’s headed. Will HTS stick to its recent promises? How will #Iran and other stakeholders retaliate against the expanding #Turkish influence? The situation is full of unknowns and high stakes. #Syria
