Islamic Labor Front

The Islamic Labor Front – ILF (Arabic: جبهة العمل الإسلامي | Jabhat al-A'amal al-Islamy), is a gathering of several Islamic parties and personalities in Lebanon led by Sunni Daaiya Fathi Yakan.

Origins

Founded in 2006, the gathering merged out from a conflict within the Islamic group on either becoming part of the anti-Syrian March 14 Alliance or the pro-Syrian March 8 Alliance.

The ILF is currently allied to Hezbollah and is part of the opposition. One of its members, Sheikh Saadeddine Ghaya, was killed in Tripoli in November 2013.[1]
