It is not a Palestinian party or faction and does not follow Palestinian agendas.
The report indicated that Liwaa Al-Quds, which was established on October 6th 2013 and was not announced at the time. It was formed by the Palestinian Engineer, “Mohammed Saeed,” from the Neirab camp in Aleppo.

The Action Group noted that Liwaa Al-Quds consists of three armed battalions, which use all types of light, medium and heavy weapons. They are; the Aswad Al-Quds battalion, Al-Radaa battalion and Aswad Al-Shabhaa battalion. According to unofficial reports, it is estimated to consist of more than five thousand members, including approximately two thousand Palestinian refugee fighters from Neirab, Handarat and Al-Raml camps.
In addition to fighters from Aleppo and its western and northern suburbs, Al-Shabah Al-Aswad battalion and Al-Qomsan Al-Soud. From the Neirab village, the Bakara Clan, (Al Berry Family) and from the village of Tal Shoghayb, as well as fighters from the Shiite community, Nubl and Zahraa.
The report revealed that Liwaa Al-Quds participated in a number of clashes along the geographical, Syrian area and was subjected to major defeats during these confrontations. According to AGPS’s statistics, the number of victims in the Liwaa exceeded 500 members, including 52 Palestinian refugees from the Neirab and Handarat camps in Aleppo and Al-Raml camp in Latikka.
The report also indicated that the residents of Neirab camp are unsatisfied with the participation of their sons in the fighting alongside Liwaa Al-Quds and are always in a state of fear and panic, while they warned several times before that the Syrian regime and its affiliated groups’ actions will push the camp directly into the Syrian conflict. They had previously asked to stay away from the ongoing events.
