After Aleppo, HTS Rebels “At Gates” Of Hama; US ‘Destroys Weapons’ Posing Imminent Threat’ In Syria

The US military conducted a self-defense strike in Syria on December 3, targeting weapons near the Military Support Site Euphrates after rockets and mortars were fired at US forces. The US strike eliminated mobile launchers, a tank, and mortars, with General Patrick S. Ryder noting prior attacks by Iranian-backed militias and Syrian forces. Meanwhile, Syria faced intensified violence as rebel forces advanced toward Hama, prompting large-scale displacement and clashes with government forces. The Syrian army countered with airstrikes, destroying rebel positions and killing over 200 fighters. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
