Amidst the ongoing operations in the Latakia Governorate, an agglomeration of pro-Assad regime and Iran-backed insurgent groups is now calling itself the Military Council for the Liberation of Syria. They are also reportedly led by Ghaith Suleiman Dala, who is the former commander of the now defunct Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Division. This would not be the first such group, but appears to be the most prominent at the time.
