The Sword of al-Sham Brigades is a Syrian rebel group formed in Damascus, but currently operating in the Quneitra and Daraa governorates. The group has received U.S.-made BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles. On 13 April 2015, it joined a number of other Southern Front affiliates in condemning al-Nusra's ideology and discontinuing all forms of cooperation with it, though it seems that they have retracted from this position as they have joined the al-Nusra led group Jaish al-Haramoun.
