The Islamic Resistance Front in Syria, announced as a permanent entity, seeks to unify all societal segments against division and displacement efforts. It positions itself in opposition to external threats from Zionist, Turkish, and American forces, aiming to protect Syria’s security and heritage. It has also claimed responsibility for attacks against Israeli forces, indicating potential support from regional allies.

On Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria, also referred to as “Awliya al-Baas,” announced its establishment as a permanent entity dedicated to opposing efforts aimed at dividing the nation and displacing its citizens. This initiative is intended to unify all segments of Syrian society, irrespective of sect or religion, focusing on the preservation of the country’s security and territorial integrity.

The front’s formation is described as a reaction to a purportedly coordinated plan involving Zionist, Turkish, and American forces, backed by certain Arab nations, to fragment Syria following the legacy of the Syrian regime under Bashar Al-Assad. This regime had previously supported global resistance movements from 1970 until 2024.

The Islamic Resistance Front has risen to challenge threats against Syria’s security, particularly in light of the current political and social instability. The unnamed general commander of the front emphasized the initiative’s goal to “restore the nation’s glory and protect it from terrorism and occupation,” urging Syrians to unite against all forms of oppression.

In a related development, social media reports surfaced in January, claiming that the Islamic Resistance Front took responsibility for attacking Israeli forces in Quneitra, Syria. Furthermore, analysis by the Alma research center indicates that the Syrian Social Nationalist Party is involved with this front, suggesting support from Iran and Hezbollah in an effort to establish a localized resistance framework in southern Syria to counter Israel.

The Islamic Resistance Front has declared its formation as a permanent entity to unify Syrian society against the perceived threats of division and occupation. By responding proactively to internal and external pressures, the front aims to establish a collective force to safeguard Syria’s integral security, heritage, and identity. The support from allied groups further indicates a strategic alignment in the region aimed at resisting occupation and promoting national unity.
