Harakat Ahrar ash-Sham al-Islamiyya ((アラビア語:حركة أحرار الشام الإسلامية ) ''Ahrār ash-Shām'', meaning "Islamic Movement of the Free Men of the Levant") is a coalition of multiple Islamist and Salafist units that coalesced into a single brigade in order to fight against the Ba'athist government led by Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian Civil War.〔 Ahrar ash-Sham was led by Hassan Aboud.〔 In July 2013, Ahrar ash-Sham had 10,000 to 20,000 fighters,〔 making it the second single most powerful unit fighting against al-Assad, after the Free Syrian Army. It was the principal organization operating under the umbrella of the Syrian Islamic Front〔 and is a major component of the Islamic Front.〔 ==History== The first Ahrar ash-Sham brigades were formed just after the Egyptian revolution, and before the Syrian Revolution started in 2011. Most of the group founders were Islamist political prisoners who had been detained for years at the Sednaya prison until they were released as part of an amnesty by the Syrian Government in March–May 2011.〔 At the time of its establishment in late 2011, Ahrar ash-Sham consisted of about 25 rebel units spread across Syria. It has expanded since then; by July 2012, the group's website listed 50 units, and by mid-January 2013, the number had increased to 83 units. Most of these units are headquartered in villages in Idlib Governorate, but many others are located in Hama and Aleppo. Some Ahrar ash-Sham units that have been involved in heavy fighting include the Qawafel al-Shuhada and Ansar al-Haqq Brigades (both in Khan Sheikhoun, Idleb Province), the al-Tawhid wal-Iman Brigade (Maarrat al-Nouman, Idleb Province), the Shahba Brigade (Aleppo City), the Hassane bin Thabet Brigade (Darat Ezza, Aleppo Province), and the Salahaddin and Abul-Fida Brigades (both in Hama City).〔 Members of the group are Islamists. Ahrar ash-Sham cooperates with the Free Syrian Army and other secular rebel groups; however, it does not maintain ties with the Syrian National Council.〔 Although they coordinate with other groups, they maintain their own strict and secretive leadership, receiving the majority of their funding and support from donors in Kuwait.〔 Through donations from supporters abroad and the capture of materiel from the Syrian Armed Forces, Ahrar ash-Sham became one of the best-armed most powerful rebel factions active in the Syrian Civil War, having progressed from the use of improvised explosive devices and small-arms ambushes in early 2012 to assuming a lead role in large-scale sustained assaults on multiple fronts by 2013. It regularly deployed tanks and mobile artillery, anti-tank guided missiles, and occasionally 1990s-era Croatian rocket and grenade launchers and was involved in every major rebel victory over Syrian Government forces between September 2012 and mid-2013.〔 It grew significantly by absorbing into its ranks other rebel factions from the Islamic Front and Syrian Islamic Front coalitions. On 26 April 2015, Ahrar ash-Sham, along with other major Aleppo based groups, established the Fatah Halab joint operations room.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fateh Haleb Coalition Member Organizations List : syriancivilwar )〕 The Islamic Front and Ahrar ash-Sham in particular have received weapons from Turkey according to German intelligence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gab die Linke der PKK geheime Regierungsdokumente? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peter R.
