Al-Fatah al-Mubin (Arabic: الفتح المُبين, romanized: al-Fatah al-Mubin) or Great Conquest is an operations room of Syrian rebel and jihadist factions participating in the Syrian civil war. The operations room was declared in June 2019, evolving from the "Damascus Conquest" operations room formed in May[3] during the Syrian Army's Dawn of Idlib 1 campaign[4] and consists of rebel groups operating in opposition-held areas of northwestern Syria concentrated in Idlib.[5] The three groups comprising the coalition are Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Turkish-backed National Front for Liberation, and Jaysh al-Izza.[6] In October 2020, HTS and two leading factions from the NLF began to finalize the creation of a Unified Military Council in Idlib.[7][8]
