Ansar al-Tawhid (Arabic: أنصار التوحيد, lit. 'Supporters of monotheism') was an armed Islamist militant group fighting in the Syrian Civil War. The group was made up of former Jund al-Aqsa members.[3] It was allied with Al-Qaeda and part of the Hurras al-Din-led Rouse the Believers Operations Room until May 2020, when it announced its departure from the coalition.[9][16]
At the Syrian Revolution Victory Conference, which was held on 29 January 2025, most factions of the armed opposition, including the Ansar al-Tawhid, announced their dissolution and were incorporated into the newly formed Ministry of Defense.[5]
