Liwa Aqab al-Islami or the "Islamic Punishment Brigade" was an armed Syrian Salafi Jihadist rebel group based in northwestern Syria primarily in the Hama Governorate, held close ties to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, including its leadership allegedly secretly pledging allegiance to ISIL, and carried out public executions and amputations, as well as enforcing Islamic law until it was forcibly dissolved by the al-Nusra Front in December 2014 due to its association with ISIL.
