Liwa al-Quds (Arabic: لواء القدس; meaning the Jerusalem Brigade) is a predominantly Syrian Palestinian paramilitary group and Syrian Army brigade that operated as a part of pro-Syrian government forces in the Syrian Civil War. In 2019, it became a part of the Syrian Army's 5th Assault Corps.[3] It was formed in 2013 by the engineer Muhammad al-Sa'eed. The fighters who called themselves the "Syrian Arab Army Fedayeen" were active in Aleppo and Daraa.[3] The paramilitary was composed of Palestinian refugees from the Neirab camp[7] and Ein Al-Tal camp as well as reconciled rebels.[1]
