Pembantaian Hama 1982
Pembantaian Hama (bahasa Arab: مجزرة حماة), atau Pemberontakan Hama, terjadi pada Februari 1982, saat Angkatan Darat Arab Suriah dan Pasukan Pertahanan, atas perintah presiden negara tersebut Hafez al-Assad, mengepung kota Hama selama 27 hari dalam rangka menekan pemberontakan oleh Ikhwanul Muslimin melawan pemerintahan al-Assad.[1][2] Pembantaian tersebut, yang dilakukan oleh Angkatan Darat Suriah di bawah komando Jenderal Rifaat al-Assad, secara efektif mengakhiri kampanye yang dimulai pada 1976 oleh kelompok Muslim Sunni, yang meliputi Ikhwanul Muslimin, melawan pemerintah.

Laporan diplomatik awal dari negara-negara Barat menyatakan bahwa 1.000 orang dibunuh.[3][4] Perkiraan pada masa berikutnya beragam, dari perkiraan rendah mengklaim bahwa sekitar 2.000 warga Suriah dibunuh,[5] sementara pihak lainnya menyebut angka 20.000 (Robert Fisk)[1] atau 40.000 (Komite Hak Asasi Manusia Suriah).[2][6] Sekitar 1.000 prajurit Suriah tewas dalam operasi tersebut, dan sebagian besar kota tua tersebut dihancurkan. Serangan tersebut disebut sebagai salah satu "tindakan paling mematikan oleh pemerintahan Arab manapun terhadap rakyatnya sendiri di Timur Tengah modern".[7] Menurut oposisi Suriah, sebagian besar korban adalah warga sipil.[8]
