Following months of negotiations in Turkey and northern Syria between the Islamic Front, Army of Mujahedeen, Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki, Fastaqim Kama Umirt, and the Authenticity and Development Front, on 25 December 2014, the factions announced that they had combined their forces into a joint command called the Levant Front.[1] The Western backed Hazzm Movement joined the coalition on 30 January 2015,[3] and announced its dissolution and merger with other Levant Front factions on 1 March 2015.[4]
On 20 February 2015, the Levant Front successfully forced the Syrian Army forces to retreat from rural towns in Aleppo;[13] during the clashes group has killed 300 Syrian soldiers and captured 110.[14]
On 18 April 2015, the Levant Front announced its dissolution as an alliance, however it stated that the member factions would continue to coordinate with each other militarily. Reasons behind the split are believed to include a lack of coordination between the groups and increasing defections of its members to other factions.[15][16] Following its end as a single unified group, it continued to act as a joint operations room.[17]
On 26 April 2015, along with other major Aleppo based groups, they established the Fatah Halab joint operations room.[7][18]
The group announced its reactivation on 18 June. Their new leader is Abu Amr, who is an Ahrar ash-Sham commander.[5][6]
On 29 June, the Levant Front released their charter.[19]
