The Unified Military Command of Eastern Ghouta is an operations room of Syrian rebel factions that operates in Eastern Ghouta, Syria.
Since the death of Zahran Alloush there have been conflicts between Jaysh al-Islam and other members of the command, along with associated groups such as Al-Nusra Front and their operations room Jaish Al-Fustat. Ahrar ash-Sham has remained neutral.
On 24th May 2016, leaders of Jaysh al-Islam & al-Rahman Legion met to sign a peace deal to end hostilities.
Since the death of Zahran Alloush and the appointment of Essam al-Buwaydhani the operations room has become largely defunct.
