Fatah Halab (Arabic: فتح حلب‎, lit. 'Conquest of Aleppo'‎), or Aleppo Conquest, is a joint operations room of Syrian rebel factions operating in Aleppo, Syria. Succeeding the Aleppo Liberation operations room, its establishment was announced on 26 April 2015[1][2] Its stated aim is to "liberate" Aleppo City from Syrian regime forces.[6]

In an October 2015 publication, the Washington D.C.-based Institute for the Study of War considered Aleppo Conquest as one of the "powerbrokers" in Aleppo Province, being both "anti-regime" and "anti-ISIS."[6]

On 13 May 2016, Amnesty International accused the Fatah Halab coalition of "repeated indiscriminate attacks that may amount to war crimes". It also reported their alleged use of chemical weapons. [7]

Member groups

The operations room includes both Western-backed groups[8] and Islamist groups. It includes some groups that also participate in the Islamist Ansar al-Sharia operations room, but not others, such as al-Nusra Front.[9] Previously al-Nusra coordinated with other groups through the Aleppo Operations Room, an arrangement that the US objected to.[10]

The number of groups participating increased after its founding, and by 18 June 2015 there were 31 groups.[11] On 28 July, 19 FSA-linked groups joined it.[citation needed]

As of October 2015 they are a total of 50 groups of varying size, the following are the largest groups that participate in the operations room:[12]
