Operation Hippikon was an offensive carried out the Syaran Army Group Beta during the Zemplen War.

Following the capture of Balatonalmádi, the Syaran 6th Army pivoted north along the border the of Sagerejo and Balatonalmádi Districts to outflank Ruvelkan forces of the 1st Debrecen Front. 6th Army began its assault on 2 October 2008 with sustained artillery barrages, but was unable to break through Ruvelkan lines despite superiority in firepower. On 12 October the Ruvelkans began withdrawing further west to avoid being outflanked, allowing the Syarans to cross the district's borders into Sagerejo to the south.
