The flag of the "Syrian Resistance" movement, formerly known as the "Popular Front for the Liberation of the Sanjak of Iskandarun"; c. 2015.
It is a pro-government, pro-Assad, Syrian-armed operating in northwest Syria, claiming a Marxism-Leninism ideology. [Not to be confused with anti-Assad Syrian opposition groups or the "Syrian National Resistance".]
İskenderun (Arabic: إسكندرونة), historically known as Alexandretta and
Scanderoon, is a municipality and district of Hatay Province, Turkey. After
France handed over the district (renamed Hatay) to Turkey in 1939, İskenderun
was replaced by Antioch (Antakya) as provincial capital but grew rapidly through
improvement in its port facilities, its choice as a military center and Turkish
naval base on the Mediterranean Sea. Essentially, the PFLSI wanted to recapture
this former Syrian district now possessed by Turkey.
