Hazzm Movement

The Hazzm Movement was a United States-supported alliance of Syrian Opposition forces in northern Syria that existed from 25 January 2014 to 1 March 2015. The movement fought against the Syrian Arab Republic, and the al-Nusra Front went on to attack the Hazzm Movement's bases due to its closeness with the USA. In December 2014, the CIA stopped giving arms to its forces in the Idlib Governoate because of the high number of fighters that defected to the al-Nusra Front and the high amount of weapons that fell into the hands of the jihadists. By March 2015, it had been destroyed by the jihadists, and it went on to join the Levant Front and Jaysh al-Thuwar.
