The 2018 Hama offensive, code-named Anger for Ghouta[6] (Arabic: الغضب للغوطة‎), is a military offensive launched by Syrian rebels on 14 March in northwestern Hama Governorate during the Syrian Civil War. This has resulted in the capture of towns of Al-Hamameyah and Kernaz within the province by the rebel groups. In response to the offensive the Syrian Army shelled the city and launched a counter offensive which successfully recaptured Al-Hamameyah and Karnaz, reversing all rebel gains.
