ISIS overwhelmed the group and was in control of the Abu Kamal area by mid-2014. The brigade's surviving fighters fled to other parts of the country and joined other groups. In DATE TBD, amid an FSA offensive into Deir ez-Zor, the fighters reconvened and Liwa al-Fatah al-Mubin reformed itself to take part in Abu Kamal's liberation.
