minus-squareMarmiteLover123 [comrade/them, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·edit-226 days agoYes it happened last night. The rebels, led by HTS (an Al Nusra/Al-Qaeda splinter group) have also taken the airport in Aleppo, and are currently taking the city of Hama. Hama will likely fall within the next few hours, if it hasn’t already.
