Jabhat al-Nusra

Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, is an extremist group that emerged during the Syrian Civil War in 2011. Initially affiliated with al-Qaeda, it aimed to establish an Islamic state in Syria. The group gained notoriety for its military operations against the Syrian government and its involvement in the conflict's complex landscape. Over time, it attempted to distance itself from al-Qaeda to gain local support. Jabhat al-Nusra has been designated a terrorist organization by many countries due to its violent tactics and ideology, which promote a radical interpretation of Islam.
