Kurdish Islamic Front
The Kurdish Islamic Front (Kurdish: پێشەوەى كوردى ئیسلامی) was a small Kurdish Islamist armed group founded by Salahuddin al-Kurdi who also served as the group's spokesman and Abu Abdullah al-Kurdi in 2013, operating mainly in eastern Aleppo around al-Bab, the northern parts of the Raqqa Governorate, and the Hasakah Governorate. It fought during the Syrian Civil War and was opposed to the secular Syrian Kurdish government and groups, including those with common goals. The group dissolved and joined Ahrar al-Sham by the end of 2014.
