Fighting is happening, that's a good sign. In the past 4 days, most areas were taken without resistance. When the SAA fights, HTS will struggle, especially because their forces are spread so thin over such a large area.

They were probably betting on an imminent collapse of the Syrian government (quite delusional) and decided to just push through to Hama & beyond. Initially this worked, most SAA units were just withdrawing and falling back, one city after another. But that domino effect stopped when they reached Hama city, and now they might be in trouble.

The situation on the Hama front has stabilized in the SAA's favor. But the situation in Aleppo Governorate is still extremely tense.

About 20 towns south of Al-Bab were captured by the Turkish-backed SNA, and the majority of the other SAA positions were handed over to the Kurdish SDF.

There is no more notable SAA presence in the city of Aleppo, which is now split between HTS and the Kurds.
