The Al-Jabal Brigade (Arabic: لواء الجبل, romanized: Liwā' al-Jabal, lit. 'The Mountain Brigade', Arabic pronunciation: [/liˈwɑːʔ alˈdʒabal/]) is a Druze militia operating primarily in the al-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria. Established during the Syrian civil war, the group has been involved in various military operations and has played a significant role in regional security dynamics. Its activities and leadership have drawn both local and international attention.

The Al-Jabal Brigade emerged amidst the fragmentation of the Syrian conflict. Its formation reflected localized efforts to assert control and protect communities in the predominantly Druze region of al-Suwayda. While initially aimed at community defense, the group has also engaged in offensives against both opposition and government forces, depending on the shifting alliances of the conflict.^[1]

The group has conducted military operations against opposition forces, including rocket attacks on regime headquarters.^[2] The Al-Jabal Brigade has also participated in suppressing dissent within al-Suwayda, reflecting its alignment with government forces in some instances.^[3]

The group's leadership has been a focal point of local and regional disputes. Marhaj al-Jarmani, a prominent leader of the brigade, was assassinated in July 2024 at his home in al-Suwayda.^[4] His death underscored the precarious position of militia leaders and the volatile dynamics of the region.

The Al-Jabal Brigade's relationships with other factions have varied over time. While initially aligned with local defense militias, the group has also cooperated with pro-regime forces.^[5] However, internal power struggles and shifting allegiances have at times led to tensions within the local community.^[6]
