Islamic Resistance Front in Syria (IRFS)

New Syrian Resistance Begins Operations Against Israeli Occupation

A newly formed Syrian resistance faction, calling itself the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria (IRFS), has claimed responsibility for an attack on 31 January against Israeli occupation forces in the southern governorate of Quneitra. With this attack, the new resistance group announced the start of its operations "against the Israeli enemy alongside our operations against the terrorist gangs of Julani," referring to self-appointed transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa – the former deputy commander of ISIS and founder of Al-Qaeda in Syria.
