Liwa al-Quds

Liwa al-Quds (لواء القدس) or the Jerusalem Brigade is a Sunni Palestinian pro-Government militia that operates in Aleppo, formed in 2013 by the engineer Muhammad al-Sa’eed. By the beginning of 2015, the group had suffered 200 killed and over 400 wounded since its establishment. The group is composed of predominately Sunni Palestinians from the al-Nayrab district as well as the former refugee camp Handarat. Liwa al-Quds is believed to be the largest loyalist auxiliary force operating in Aleppo.

Operational history
The group supported the Syrian Army in its effort to reopen the main supply line to Aleppo in 2015.

In June 2017, Liwa al-Quds launched a recruitment campaign in Homs Governorate, where it aimed at enlisting young Palestinian refugees.
