The Popular Resistance (Arabic: مقاومة شعبية; al-Muqawama al-Shabia) is an insurgent group that operates in Daraa Governorate. The group was created in November of 2018. It has waged an insurgency against the Syrian Army and intelligence agencies, Iranian-backed militias, and reconciled rebel fighters working with the Syrian government.[1] The group carries out guerrilla-style attacks on government checkpoints, and security officials.[2]
