The Syrian army withdrew from Hama after the insurgents breached their defenses in pushing back President Bashar al-Assad. The announcement came after rebels claimed to have entered Hama after three days of clashes with government forces on its outskirts. The Syrian army said they were sent back to Hama and took positions outside the city to protect civilian lives. The Syrian army said dozens of soldiers were killed after resisting the insurgents, who were relying on suicide attacks to breach Hama’s defenses. Hama is one of the few cities that remained under full government control during the Syrian civil war, which broke out in March 2011. 00:00 – INTRODUCTION 02:37 – VIDEO SAID BY SYRIAN REBELS SHOWING THE LOCATION OF CAPTURED ARMIES NEAR HAMA03:09 – HTS LEADER WARNS IRAQ ABOUT INVOLVING SYRIA FURNACE’05:27 -HEZBOLLAH Vows ‘TO STAND ON SYRIA FURNACE’ n18oc_world n18oc_crux
