Preceded by Aleppo Liberation Operations Room
Fatah Halab (Arabic: فتح حلب, romanized: Fataḥ Ḥalab, lit. 'Conquest of Aleppo'), or Aleppo Conquest, was a joint operations room of Syrian rebel factions operating in and around Aleppo, Syria. Succeeding the Aleppo Liberation operations room, its establishment was announced on 26 April 2015.[1][3] It stated that its aim was to conquer Aleppo City from Syrian government forces.[8]
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 Governorate, being both "anti-regime" and "anti-ISIS."[8]
Since the inter-rebel conflicts, defections and mergers which started in December 2016, Fatah Halab has become largely defunct.
