Armed groups opposed to Bashar Al-Assad’s regime today captured four more villages in the Syrian province of Hama.

The anti-regime forces have been advancing towards Hama province since clashes with Assad regime forces began on 27 November.

Fighting regime forces about five kilometers (three miles) outside Hama city centre, the anti-regime groups have taken control of several areas, including Pasif, Elcid, Al-Karim and Hamra.

They have also captured the Armored Corps School near Hama city centre, which is one of the regime’s key bases and which serves as the main headquarters for the 25th Brigade.

Anti-regime fighters captured Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, on Friday evening and have edged towards Idlib and Hama since.
