The Front officially appeared at the beginning of 2025 as the Southern Liberation Front before changing its name to Uli al-Bas in 2026 to avoid confusion with other groups.
The channel added in a special investigation: “The name of the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria - Aul al-Bas emerged again in southern Syria, after it adopted operations targeting Israeli military sites, coinciding with the circulation of a security report accusing it of being linked to media and financial networks that allegedly brought together figures affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and others who were linked to the Lebanese Hezbollah.”
The channel indicated in the investigation that “the Front denies these accusations, stressing that its decision is independent Syrian and that its activity aims to resist Israeli incursions, but its political and religious discourse, its slogan close to the visual identity of Hezbollah, and its declaration of belonging to the concept of the unity of the arenas, raise questions about the nature of its project and the regional environment within which it operates.”
The investigation stresses that “there is not yet conclusive public evidence or documents proving the existence of a joint leadership or a complete institutional partnership between Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood to establish this front, and what is currently available proves an intersection in the alleged discourse and relations rather than conclusive evidence.”
The investigation concludes that “Uli al-Bas represent one of the most secretive groups in the new Syrian scene.”
