The Front for the Liberation of the Golan (Arabic: جبهة تحرير الجولان) is a guerrilla organization formed in Syria in July 2006 shortly after the 2006 Lebanon War, viewed by Syria as a victory by Hezbollah over Israel. Its aim is to recover the Golan Heights from Israel through a military campaign.

The force is trained by Hezbollah, which in turn was trained by Iran.[1] It is made up of hundreds of Syrian volunteers[2] and Palestinian refugees living in the Damascus area.[3][4] Although the explicitly stated purpose of the group is to engage in guerilla warfare against the Israeli forces in the Golan heights, the group's activities have been limited to radio broadcasts.[5]
In October 2023 700 members of the front where deployed to the Qunaitrah countryside, western Rif Dimashque, and western Daraa along the border of the Golan Heights following the start of the Gaza war.[6]
