Organization:notes | The AAB is an Al Qaida affiliated militant group that follows Salafist ideology. The group is a fluid network organized into a number of regional battalions, including the Ziyad al-Jarrah Battalions based in Lebanon. The AAB has claimed responsibility for several rocket attacks in northern Israel and has also repeatedly articulated its intent to carry out attacks against Western targets in the Middle East. Since the start of protests in Syria, the AAB's communiqués have supported regime overthrow. AAB relies primarily on rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and suicide bombings. In 2014, the AAB claimed joint responsibility with Jabhat al-Nusra for rocket attacks in Hermel, Lebanon. The AAB also claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings near the Iranian cultural centre in Beirut, Lebanon, in February, 2014. AAB continued to operate with limited government control within Lebanon, primarily inside Lebanon’s 12 Palestinian refugee camps. These groups used the Palestinian camps to house weapons, shelter wanted criminals, and plan terrorist attacks. AAB did not claim responsibility for attacks between 2018-2020, and leadership announced its dissolution in the Levant (Syria) in November 2019. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-1-abdallah-azzam-brigades-aab | ||||
