In celebration of Eid, Bashar Al-Assad made a surprise visit to the countryside of Hama where he drove through several towns to meet up with injured Syrian soldiers as well as their family members.

To avoid unwanted suspicion, the Syrian President drove through military checkpoints in a normal civilian car, but nevertheless happily greeted unsuspecting members of the public:

Thereafter, he spent several hours with Syrian families whose loved ones had fallen wounded on the battlefield combating Daesh insurgents, for the most part.

In the coming days, Bashar Al-Assad will visit other residential regions, a local source reported.

However, details of his tour remain strictly private for security causes.
