Jaysh al-Ummah
The Jaysh al-Ummah (Arabic: جيش الأمة; lit. Army of the Ummah) was a coalition of 20 small rebel groups active during the Syrian Civil War. The group operated in Damascus and Rif Dimashq Governorate. It was disbanded on 9 March 2015, after it was defeated by Jaysh al-Islam and its remaining fighters defected to the Syrian government forces in Eastern Ghouta.
Not to be confused with Jaysh al-Ummah (Gaza).
