The Battle for Hama was the most critical military moment in the campaign that ended Syria's former government, according to state media. The operation, called "Deterrence of Aggression," led to the fall of the Assad regime one year ago.
The campaign began on November 27 and concluded on December 8, 2024. Its anniversary marks what authorities call the victory of the Syrian revolution.
The report from the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) identified the Hama battle as the decisive turning point. No further details of the military engagement were provided.
