Army of the Revolution

The Army of the Revolution (Arabic: جيش الثورة; Jaysh al-Thawra) was a Syrian rebel alliance affiliated with the Southern Front of the Free Syrian Army. It was composed of 5 FSA factions which mainly operated in the Daraa Governorate in southwestern Syria. One of its commanders stated that the group is a "temporary operations room" due to the separation between western and eastern Daraa, and that the "door is open" for other groups to join the alliance.[8]

Not to be confused with Army of Revolutionaries.
