– Today, we are fighting a fierce and ongoing battle with the most brutal terrorist organizations, which are using a guerrilla approach, which forces our armed forces to use appropriate methods in fighting the battles, including advances and retreats, and withdrawals to some defensive points.

– These terrorist organizations are backed by Turkey and other actors, in terms of logistics, weaponry and planning, which complicates the situation.

– We are in a good field situation, and our armed forces have worked to redeploy to preserve lives.

– Military action in the context of battle tactics sometimes requires redeployment.

– Syria, with its army, people, leadership, and the support of its allies and friends, is capable of overcoming the challenges, no matter how severe or difficult.

– We confirm that what happened in the city of Hama today is a temporary tactical measure. Our forces are still in the vicinity of the city of Hama and are fully prepared and ready to confront any assault.’
