Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is an Islamist group in Syria whose purported primary objectives are overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria followed by the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law. In July 2016, Jabhat Al-Nursa (JN), an Al Qaida affiliated Sunni militant Islamist group in Syria, changed its name to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS). Six months later, in January 2017, JFS and four smaller groups issued a statement announcing their dissolution in favour of merging under a single group known as HTS. JN, which is now part of HTS, has claimed responsibility for nearly 600 attacks – such as ambushes, kidnappings, assassinations, Improvised Explosive Device attacks and suicide bombings – in major city centers including Damascus, Aleppo, Hamah, Dara, Homs, Idlib, and Dayr al-Zawr. In March 2017, 2 HTS suicide bombers attacked Damascus, killing at least 74 people, including 8 children. More recently, on December 21, 2019, HTS claimed killing 30 Syrian regime troops in a suicide bombing in Raffa, a town in the southeast of Idlib governorate.

アル・カーイダ（１６６．に指定した団体）と連携している。アル・カーイダの外国人工作員と共に、シリア・アラブ共和国の地元の分隊に加わり、テロ活動やゲリラ活動を行うために、シリア人や外国のイラクのアル・カーイダ（４５３．に指定した団体）及びアスバト・アルアンサル(１７２．に指定した団体)の戦闘員を引き寄せた。イラクのアル・カーイダ（４５３．に指定した団体）としてリストに掲載されているISIL（いわゆる「イスラム国」）、及びその指導者である、イブラヒーム・アッワード・イブラヒーム・アリー・アル・バドリー・アル・サマッライ(６００．に指定した個人)と連携していたが、２０１３年に連携を解消した。２０１６年７月には、レバントの人々のためのアル・ヌスラ戦線の指導者である、アブ・モハンメド・アル・ジャウラニ(６３７．に指定した個人)は、同団体がその名称をジャブハト・ファタハ・アル・シャームに変更し、もはやいかなる外部団体とも関係していないと表明した。当該表明及び同団体が自らをレバントの人々のためのアル・ヌスラ戦線から区別しようと試みているにもかかわらず、依然としてアル・カーイダと連携しており、この新たな団体名のもとでテロ活動の実行を継続している。２０１７年１月には、アル・ヌスラ戦線はシリア騒乱におけるその立場を向上し、シリアにおけるアル・カーイダの支部としてのその目的を追求するための手段として、ハイアト・タハリール・アル・シャーム（HTS）を創設した。２０１３年５月３０日から２０１４年５月１３日までは、イラクのアル・カーイダ（４５３．に指定した団体）の別名として掲載されていた。国連安全保障理事会決議第２３６８号（２０１７年）に基づく見直しは２０２１年１１月１５日に終了した。同団体に対するインターポール（国際刑事警察機構）・国連安全保障理事会特別手配書のウェブ・リンク：
