Since October 23, Syrian government forces have made a large progress against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) in the northeastern Hama countryside. The army and its allies have liberated the villages of Abu Miyal, Jubb al-Abyad, Khirbat Rasm al-Ahmar, Abu Laffah, Mrayjeb, Hasrat, Rasm Sawan, Rasm al-Ahmar and Dush.
Some pro-government sources even speculate that the military may launch a larger advance towards the militant-held town of Abu al-Dhuhur. However, this move is unlikely if the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham defense does not collapse in the area soon.
