The Levant Revolutionaries Battalions (LRB) was a faction in Syria during the Syrian civil war.
History.
The group was formed by Naji Mustafa (a former commander in the Army of Mujahideen) as a split from the Levant Front, which he and others left in April 2015. The LRB has been described as having been "cobbled together" between the Army of Mujahideen groups as well as smaller factions that were aligned with the Free Syrian Army.
It was one of the many Syrian rebel groups armed with BGM-71 TOW missiles by the CIA that autumn.
The LRB announced in June 2016 that it would merge with the Levant Front. By July, many members of the LRB had separated from the Levant Front again and become independent.
Mustafa left in 2016 with 200 fighters and was made a spokesman of the National Front for Liberation by June 2021.
The group merged with Ahrar al-Sham in January 2017.
