The leaked documents, obtained by "Al-Dostour," detail Brigade 84's structure, leadership, and objectives, including its role as a "shadow army" and its ties to various extremist groups. The brigade is estimated to have 30,000 fighters and is allegedly backed by the Syrian government. The formation of Brigade 84, which includes former ISIS fighters, is seen as a strategic move to consolidate foreign fighters and potentially engage in proxy warfare. The group's presence poses a threat to regional security, particularly for Egypt.
