Battle of Victory
The Battle of Victory (Arabic: معركة النصر, Maarakat an-Nasr), also known as "Tahrir Sahl al-Ghab" was an operations room created by Syrian rebel factions in April 2015, with the goal of capturing the city of Jisr al-Shughur and the surrounding areas in northwestern Syria, from the control of Syrian government forces. The operations room was modelled on the Army of Conquest, which captured Idlib city, and features many of the same groups.
