Jaysh al-Sham (2014)

Jaysh al-Sham (جيش الشام, "Army of the Levant") was a rebel group that was active during the Syrian civil war. 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).

In July 2014, the Liwa Dawoud 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. The group was disbanded on 28 July 2014, giving the remaining affiliated groups the option to join other groups.
