The Idlib Martyrs' Brigade (Arabic: لواء شهداء إدلب, Liwa Shuhada Idlib) was an armed rebel group that fought against the Syrian government in the Idlib Governorate of Syria. It first operated under the name Syrian Liberation Army (Arabic: جيش التحرير السوري), but had renamed itself by the end of April 2012. It was a loose coalition of localized forces, mostly composed of armed Syrian civilians who joined the uprising.
