Suqour al-Ezz (Arabic: كتيبة صقور العز), also spelled Suqour al-Izz,[1] was a group composed of primarily Saudi jihadists that was active during the Syrian Civil War.[6]
Founded in February 2013, due to personal disputes with the and the al-Nusra Front, it originally operated as an independent jihadist group while still cooperating on the battlefield with both groups.[2] However, in January 2014, the group joined al-Nusra.[5]
