The Dawn of Islam Division (Forqat Fajr al-Islam) is a Syrian rebel group operating in the Uthman and Tafas districts of Daraa city as well as in Busra al-Harir in the north-east of Daraa Governorate. It is a merger between the Dawn of Islam Brigade and a number of smaller rebel groups. The group has received U.S.-made BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles.[2] On 13 April 2015, the Dawn of Islam Division joined a number of other Southern Front groups in renouncing all ties with al-Nusra.[3]
