Jaysh al-Sham (Arabic: جيش الشام, "Army of the Levant") was a rebel group active during the Syrian Civil War.[3] The group began when the Suqour al-Sham brigade called Suyouf al-Haq split from its parent organization because it did not want to participate in the fighting between Suqour al-Sham and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).[3]
In July 2014, the Liwa Dawud unit defected from Jaysh al-Sham to ISIS, bringing with them 1000 men and 10 tanks. Jaysh al-Sham claimed that it had expelled them.[4] The group was disbanded on 28 July 2014, giving the remaining affiliated groups the option to join other groups.[2]
