The 1st Coastal Division, formerly known as the Brigade of the Chargers (Шаблон:Lang-ar), is a Syrian rebel group that is affiliated with the Free Syrian Army and has been vetted by the Friends of Syria Group. It received TOW missiles and operates in the Idlib and northern Latakia governorates. The group received training and funding from Qatar. It is a former member of the Ahfad al-Rasul Brigades.[1]
History
The group participated in the 2014 Latakia offensive[1] and the 2015 Jisr al-Shughur offensive with a wide array of Syrian opposition forces.[2] As part of the Latakia offensive, the group briefly captured the Mediterranean town of Kasab,[3] acquiring their name.
1st Coastal Division is famous for including Free Syrian Army war hero Abo Hamza who became notable on social media for his many skillful BGM-71 TOW missile shots.[4]
In October 2015 the 1st Coastal Division's chief of staff, Captain Basil Zamo, was killed in a Russian airstrike on Jabal al-Akrad, Latakia.[5]
In April 2016, the group together with Ahrar al-Sham, Al-Nusra Front, and the Turkistan Islamic Party attacked Syrian government positions in northeastern Latakia Governorate, capturing the villages of Nakshaba, al-Bayyada and 50% of Mount Qamou'.[6]Шаблон:Better source needed

In May 2018, along with 10 other rebel groups in northwestern Syria, the 1st Coastal Division formed the National Front for Liberation, which was officially announced on 28 May.[8]
