The Islamic Front was formed on November 22, 2013 as a coalition of major rebel groups in Syria. The coalition is comprised on Harakat Ahrar as-Sham,Suqur as-Sham,Liwa at-Tawhid, Jaysh al-Islam,Jabhat al-Kurdiyya,Liwa al-Haqq andAhrar as-Sham.This new coalition is not to be confused with the Syrian Islamic Front (SIF) or the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front (SLF/SILF). The same day The Syrian Islamic Front (SIF), which was formed in December 2012, was dissolved by Harakat Ahrar as-Sham’s Hassan Abboud in favor of the new Islamic Front. It should also be known that there is an established Kashmiri group with the same name but no affilitation with the Syrian Islamic Front whatsoever.VideoVideo: 2013 Announcement of the alliance and new group formed Islamic Front.Video: 2013 interview with the group’s leader Abu Issa as-Sheikh ( see @aleesa71 on Twitter) after the Islamic Front’s formation

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
