The Aknaf Bait al-Maqdis (Arabic: أكناف بيت المقدس) was a Palestinian rebel group active during the Syrian Civil War. The group was solely active in the Yarmouk Camp. It battled the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, backed by al-Nusra Front, in April 2015 and lost 90% of its territory.[6] The group was loyal to Hamas.[7] By 19 April 2015, the group had dissolved and joined the Syrian Government forces.[2]
