Syrian rebels have made significant advances in northern Syria, capturing most parts of Aleppo within hours and now approaching the city of Hama. Reports indicate that President Bashar al-Assad's forces are collapsing, with the Syrian opposition entering Hama, a city known for the 1982 Hama Massacre where Assad's father, Hafez, killed over 40,000 people and expelled more than 100,000 in just three weeks. Assad is reportedly in Moscow, while his family and close allies are also abroad in Russia and the UAE. The regime's military is withdrawing from areas around Homs and Hama, focusing on defending the enclave they control. This rapid advance by the rebels has led to speculation about a potential collapse of the Assad regime.
