Jund al-Aqsa

Jund al-Aqsa (Arabic: جند الأقصى; Liwa al-Aqsa after early 2017) was a Sunni Islamist jihadist militant group that fought in the Syrian Civil War. It used to be called Sarayat al-Quds and it was founded by Abu Abdulaziz al Qatari as a unit within the Al-Nusra Front. It later broke away from the Al-Nusra Front due to fighting with Daesh and became an independent group. On the 20th of September 2016, the United States called Jund al-Aqsa a terrorist group. The group decided to rejoin the Al-Nusra Front which was now called Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) in October 2016. However, JFS decided to remove Jund al-Aqsa from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
