The Ansar Fighters Brigade[4] (Arabic: Liwa’ al-Muqatilin al-Ansar)[1] is a Salafist jihadist group in Idlib Governorate, Syria during the Syrian civil war.

The head of the group, Abu al-Malik al-Talli, left HTS in April 2020 in protest following a deal between Turkey and Russia that halted the Northwestern Syria offensive (December 2019 – March 2020).[4]

Al-Talli was arrested by HTS on 22 June 2020[2] and was released later in the year.[5]
