SAA can now roll up the right side of the Jabal al Wastani mountain range through relatively unprotected Rouj (Ruj) Plain all the way to Killi and al Atarib. That cuts ALL remaining Turkish resupply lines to Idlib City and the surrounding area, creating a giant Idlib cauldron. pic.twitter.com/YOYA0VZP4h

#1 The Hama massacre (Arabic: مجزرة حماة‎) occurred in February 1982, when the Syrian Arab Army and the Defense Companies, under the orders of the country's president Hafez al-Assad, besieged the town of Hama for 27 days in order to quell an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood against al-Assad's government.[The massacre, carried out by commanding General Rifaat al-Assad, ended the campaign begun in 1976 by Sunni Muslim, including the Muslim Brotherhood, against the government.
