The Mujahideen Shura Council (Arabic: مجلس شورى مجاهدي الشرقية‎‎ Majlis Shūrā Mujāhidīn ash-Sharqīyah, meaning "Shura Council of the Mujahideen of the Eastern Area", also known by the Arabic acronym Mishmish), is a coalition of Islamist rebel groups in Deir ez-Zor which formed in order to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) during the Syrian Civil War. The leader of the coalition was killed by ISIL around 12 June 2014.
