Islamic uprising in Syria Uqla played a key role in the planning of the Aleppo Artillery School massacre in 1979.

Despite having broken with the Muslim Brotherhood, Uqla was only officially dismissed from his position as leader of the Fighting Vanguard in April 1982, following the Hama Massacre. or being caught by Syrian security forces in late 1982.
