True Promise Corps (Arabic: فيلق الوعد الصادق, romanized: Faylaq al-Wa'ad al-Sadiq) is a militant organization in Syria and Iraq.
History
[edit]The True Promise Corps were founded in 2003 by Abu 'Ammar al-Iraqi against the coalition that invaded Iraq. In 2011, al-Sayyid al-Safi al-Musawi was elected secretary general. In 2013 they fought in Syria and against Daesh in Saladin Governorate, Tikrit and Fallujah.[3] They are reportedly part of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, but they deny it.[4] They congratulated the attacks on Israel, and launched rockets themselves.[5]

Members of Iran's so-called "Axis of Resistance" appear to have conducted attacks targeting Israel simultaneously with Iran's first wave of attacks. Lebanese Hezbollah claimed it fired "dozens" of Katyusha rockets targeting an Israeli missile and artillery base in the Golan Heights at 1800 ET.
