The Jaysh al-Muwahhidin (

Arabic: جيش الموحدين, romanized: Jaysh al-Muwaḥḥidīn, lit. 'Army of the Unitarians') was a Druze

militia group in the Syrian civil war.

The group mainly operated in the Suwayda, Deraa, Damascus and other regions where the Druze are concentrated and announced their formation in the beginning of 2013. The leadership describes the group as Unitarian Druze engaging in defensive war, but has also been described as supporters of

anticolonial figures such as Sultan al-Atrash, who was a prominent Druze chieftain.^[1]^[3]^[2]
