Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement

The Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement is a Syrian militant group that emerged during the Syrian Civil War, named after a historical Muslim leader known for his resistance against the Crusades. Formed in 2012, it initially sought to fight against the Syrian government and extremist factions like ISIS. The group, with a focus on Sunni Islam, aimed to establish governance based on Islamic law. Over time, it faced internal challenges and external pressures, leading to shifts in its influence and alliances within the complex landscape of Syrian conflict.
