The Military Operations Command, or the Military Operations Department,[a][4] formerly known as Al-Fatah al-Mubin until November 2024,[b] is a joint military operations room of Islamist and nationalist factions of the Syrian opposition participating in the Syrian civil war. The operations room was declared in June 2019, evolving from the "Damascus Conquest" operations room formed in May,[5] during the Syrian Army's Dawn of Idlib 1 campaign,[6] and consists of rebel groups operating in opposition-held areas of northwestern Syria concentrated in Idlib.[7]

The three groups comprising the coalition are Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Turkish-backed National Front for Liberation, and Jaysh al-Izza.[8] In October 2020, HTS and two leading factions from the NLF began to finalize the creation of a Unified Military Council in Idlib.[9][10]

In December 2024, the alliance launched an offensive which resulted in the collapse of the Assad-led government and a new transitional government led by senior figures from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham. The new Minister of Defense, Murhaf Abu Qasra, announced that all rebel factions will be dissolved and merged into the Ministry of Defense.[11]
