Jaysh al-Sunna (Arabic: جيش السنة, lit. 'Army of the Sunnah') was a Homs-based Islamist rebel group that was established as a merger between different rebel groups, some of which originally came from the Free Syrian Army's Farouq Brigades, and was active during the Syrian Civil War. It joined the Army of Conquest on 24 March 2015, and took part in the Second Battle of Idlib. It lost 14 fighters in the battle.[1] The group became part of Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham in 2018.[2]
