Syrian Civil War

Jaysh al-Izza or the Army of Glory (Arabic: جيش العزة‎‎), formerly the Union of Glory ((Arabic: تجمع العزة ،‎‎-Tajamul al-Izza), is a Syrian rebel group affiliated with the Free Syrian Army active in northwestern Syria, mainly in the al-Ghab Plain in northern Hama and its surroundings. The group have been supplied with anti-tank missiles by the United States, including 9K111 Fagots and BGM-71 TOWs.

On 30 September 2015, the first day of the Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War, 2 Russian bombs with 8-10 submunitions struck the group's headquarters and arm depots in a cave in the village of Al-Lataminah in northern Hama.

During the 2016 Hama offensive in September 2016, Jaysh al-Izza used a BGM-71 TOW missile to blow up a low-flying Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter, which they alleged to be Russian.
