It is the provincial capital of the Hama Governorate. Hama is the fourth-largest city in Syria after Aleppo, Damascus and Homs. In the last decades, the city of Hama has become known as a center of the anti-Ba'ath opposition in Syria, most notably the Muslim Brotherhood. The city was raided by the Syrian Army, beginning with the 1964 Islamic uprising, and becoming the scene of carnage during the Islamic uprising in Syria in April 1981 and especially in 1982, when nearly 25,000 people were killed in what became known as Hama massacre. The city was once again the site of conflict between the Syrian military and opposition forces, as one of the main arenas of the Syrian civil war that started in 2011. This checkpoint was attacked in December 2013 and the Free Syrian Army claimed to have it under complete control. According to opposition sources the Syrian Army is trying to retake it and the opposition is trying to block their attempts.
