The Sham Legion (Arabic: فيلق الشام, Faylaq Al-Sham[1]), also known as Homs Legion, is an alliance of Islamist rebel groups which formed in order to consolidate the strength of moderate Islamists during the Syrian Civil War.[1] The alliance was formed from 19 different groups,[14] some of which were previously affiliated with the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood and Shields of the Revolution Council.[1]
On 26 April 2015, along with other major Aleppo based groups, they established the Fatah Halab joint operations room.[4][15]
