Liwa al Sharqiya was active in the Damascus area primarily Jobar from 2013-2014 as Kata'ib jabhat ansar al sham and then as Liwa al Sharqiya from 2015-2015 while having presences the Rif Dimashq Governorate aswell as Ghouta with only 100 in aleppo with pressure from 2014-2015 by the Syrian army and its shia allies Liwa al Sharqiya ,

was forced out of Jobar by fellow reble group Ar Rahman Legion and by continuous bombinga by the Syrian air force and in 2015 by the Russians so the remaining Liwa al Sharqiya members in Ghouta and the Rif Dimashq Governorate joined Ahrar al-Sham and Jaysh al-Islam the remaining Fighters in aleppo joind the Kata'ib mujahideen fi halab a fellow bregade in Jabhat ansar al sham
