Liwa al-Quds
Liwa al-Quds (Arabic: لواء القدس; meaning the Jerusalem Brigade) was a paramilitary group and Syrian Army brigade that operated as a part of pro-Syrian government forces in the Syrian Civil War. The group was composed mostly of Sunni Palestinians from Neirab camp, an area that was subjected to prolonged sieges imposed by the armed opposition.
In 2019, it became a part of the Syrian Army's 5th Assault Corps. It was formed in 2013 by the engineer Muhammad al-Sa'eed. The fighters who called themselves the "Syrian Arab Army Fedayeen" were active in Aleppo and Daraa. The paramilitary was also composed of refugees from Ein Al-Tal camp as well as reconciled rebels.
Liwa al-Quds was founded in 2013 as a pro-government militia, reportedly with the support of the Air Force Intelligence Directorate. Syrian opposition supporters regarded them as Shabiha.
By the beginning of 2015, the group had suffered 200 killed and over 400 wounded since its establishment. The group supported the Syrian Army in its effort to reopen the main supply line to Aleppo in late 2015.
By mid-2016, it had become one of the most important pro-government paramilitary groups in Aleppo Governorate. On 20 June 2016, the group took part in a prisoner exchange with three rebel factions, namely the Sultan Murad Division, the Muntasir Billah Brigade, and the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, in coordination with Ahrar al-Sham.
In June 2017, Liwa al-Quds launched a recruitment campaign in Homs Governorate, where it aimed at enlisting young Palestinian refugees.
In May 2018 Liwa al-Quds was fighting against the ISIL pocket in the desert of Deir ez-Zor Governorate as a part of joint operation with the NDF and SAA forces. Liwa al-Quds captured the village of Faydat Umm Muwaynah.
In July 2018, Samer Rafe, a prominent commander of the militia, was arrested in Latakia after a firefight with government forces. He had previously been arrested on charges of robbery in Aleppo, confessed to the charges, and served a prison term of one year before being released.
