Thuwar al-Sanamayn (Arabic: ثوار الصنمين, romanized: thuaar alsanamayn, lit. 'The revolutionaries of Al-Sanamayn') is a militant organization in Syria.
History
It was founded by Walid al-Zahra c. 2018 and fought against the Syrian Arab Armed Forces in Al-Sanamayn attacking checkpoints,[1] during March 2020 Daraa clashes where they besieged the city of al-Sanamayn until the Syrian Arab Armed Forces killed Walid al-Zahra.[2][3][4]
Thuwar al-Sanamayn attacked Mohsen al-Haymed Al-Haymed's group in 2025, calling them a "criminal gang that desecrated the land of Al-Sanamayn."[5][6]
