The Unified Military Council (Arabic: المجلس العسكري الموحد), also known as the Joint Tripartite Military Committee, is a Turkish intelligence[4] and military-sponsored joint operations room between the National Front for Liberation and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the two major armed rebel groups based in the Idlib Governorate in northwestern Syria. The council was formed as a restructuring of the Great Conquest Operations Room in October 2020, after several months of preparation[5] following the end of the latest offensive by the Syrian Armed Forces against rebels in Idlib.[3]
