Syrian Civil War

The Syrian National Resistance (Arabic: المقاومة الوطنية السورية‎‎) was an officially independent political coalition active in Aleppo Governorate and allied with both the Syrian Ba'athist government as well as the Syrian Democratic Forces. It was primarily fighting against the Turkish military intervention in Syria, though was also opposed to various Islamist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The SNR's leader, Rezan Hedo, is an independent member of the Syrian Democratic Council.

The Syrian National Resistance was officially founded on 6 September 2016 in the SDF-controlled town of Tell Rifaat, and by 12 September, the SNR already claimed to have set up offices in Aleppo, Idlib, Homs, Latakia, and other Syrian cities. On the other side, the Kafr Saghir Martyrs Brigade (Liwa Shuhada Kafr Saghir), which would eventually become the basis for the SNR's armed wing, emerged around late October when ISIL was driven from Kafr Saghir and the nearby Aleppo Infantry School north-east of Aleppo. The unit, which has been described as "a predominately Kurdish pro-government unit" and "officially neutral force for local protection between (the Syrian) regime and the SDF", was initially composed of around 50 volunteers and only lightly armed. The Kafr Saghir Martyrs Brigade joined the SNR sometime in November; later that month, the SNR entered the Battle of al-Bab together with the Syrian Army (SAA) to prevent Turkish-led rebel militias from conquering al-Bab.
