April 25th. The rebel offensive in Hama has been utterly defeated, with all areas taken recaptured by the Syrian Army. On top of this, the Syrian army captured Helfaya and and Taybat al-Imam, which were previously under rebel control. The small town of Masasnah was also captured by the Syrian Army. Moderates and HTS/al-Qaeda attempted to retake this small town, but were unsuccessful.
