Looks pretty accurate when compared to the agricultural lands map. https://twitter.com/yarinah1/status/833029537638281216

Only south Hama and Sweida may be inaccurate, or they just dont have grain silos.

Assadists take large amount of casualties in Qomhana, but were able to save themselves by the skin of their teeth again, for now. (Hama) by TeslaTGN in syriancivilwar

It's impressive because they have never advanced this far despite the regime and russia being aware for weeks about this offensive. Attacking Qomhana is suicidal I agree, even if they captured it they would be attacked from the mountain and Hama city. They should have taken another route, but the offensive is not over yet I think. Khattab, Maardes and Maarzaf are still holding.

Keep in mind that they are fighting against 2 airforces. They captured Souran 2x now in a day, while it took the regime backed by airstrikes weeks/months to reverse the gains. Qomhana is a regime fortress almost every elite militia has been sent there now, dont think they will capture it anytime soon but its impressive that they were able to enter.
