2015 Idlib offensive The 2015 Idlib offensive refers to a series of rebel operations in the Idlib Governorate, during the Syrian Civil War.

According to "The Economist", the capture of Idlib came about largely because Gulf Arab states "gave more backing to their proxies despite American objections."
Hama offensive (March–April 2017) The Hama offensive (March–April 2017) was a military offensive launched by Syrian rebel groups led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) north of the city of Hama, as part of the Syrian Civil War. The offensive began on 21 March 2017, and the rebels aim to recapture areas recaptured by the Syrian Armed Forces in the 2016 Hama offensive, as well as pushing into Hama city. The offensive was coordinated with rebel forces in Damascus' eastern suburbs, who launched their own operation in March 2017.
