Jaysh al-Fatah has been the largest in size and scope of the recent alliances. Led by
JN and Ahrar al-Sham, Jaysh al-Fatah was formed from seven Islamist groups
which represent a geographically and ideologically diverse force.
The only commonality amongst participants is their purported links to Turkey,
Qatar, or JAN.
Tasked with expelling government forces from southern Idlib and northern Hama
in March 2015, Jaysh al-Fatah has been successful.

Initiated in late April 2015 and with a similar makeup to Jaysh al-Fatah, the al-
Nasr campaign was charged with expelling government forces from Jisr al-
Shughur and the surrounding areas.
Campaign forces, in cooperation with several other armed opposition groups, were
able to gain control of Jisr al-Shughur city in under a week.
