The Eighth Brigade was a unit of the 5th Corps established in 2018 in the Daraa Governorate, Syria during the Syrian civil war, composed primarily of rebels who had reconciled with the Assad regime in 2018. The faction joined the Southern Operations Room in December 2024 following the 2024 Syrian opposition offensives and disbanded in April 2025 after the killing of Bilal al-Droubi.
