Part 6/9:
The capture of Hama can have far-reaching consequences. Strategically, it opens crucial pathways towards Homs and could potentially leave Damascus vulnerable. Similarly, the city holds historical significance as a symbol of resistance against the Assad regime, making its capture both a tactical victory and a poignant statement in the larger narrative of Syrian history.
Experts have pointed out that while the opposition forces seem to be in a position of strength currently, several factors may influence their ability to maintain control. The potential for intervention from external actors such as Russia and Iran could dampen the momentum of the opposition. The dynamics of allied forces and their willingness to engage also play a crucial role in the evolving situation.
