Ayyash Al-Haj

Ayyash Al-Haj Hussein Al-Jassim was a Syrian revolutionary who led the armed resistance against the French in the Deir al-Zour Governorate in 1925 during the Great Syrian Revolt. He was exiled with his family to the city of Jableh in western Syria after being accused of planning and preparing future uprisings against the French. His eldest son, Mohammed, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on the island of Arwad, while his son Mahmoud was executed by firing squad alongside several other revolutionaries.
