The Jaysh Halab (Arabic: جيش حلب‎, lit. 'Army of Aleppo'‎) was a coalition of Syrian rebel groups based in rebel-held areas inside the city of Aleppo, Syria. The coalition was created by Hashim al-Sheikh, the former general commander of Ahrar ash-Sham with the intent of unifying various rebel groups in Aleppo.^[1] After the announcement, nothing was heard of the group until December 2016.

Initial member groups
