Two days later, Syrian tanks deployed at Hama,[7] in an operation that led to more than 16 civilian deaths at the hands of Syrian security forces. On 31 July, the government of Syria sent the Syrian army into Hama to control protests on the eve of Ramadan, as part of a nationwide crackdown, nicknamed the Ramadan Massacre.
