A coalition of moderate Muslim rebel groups fighting under the Supreme 
Military Council of Syria, which includes the Free Syrian Army, on 25 September 2014 allied
with a predominantly Christian coalition called 
Syriac Military
Council, to
unite their fight against the Assad government and 
ISIS.

According to the Syriac Military Council, the goal of the organisation is to 
stand up for the national rights of Syriacs and to protect the Syriac people in 
Syria. The organisation fights mostly in the densely populated Syriac areas of 
the Governorates of Aleppo, Damascus, Al-Hasakah, Latakia, and Homs.

The Syriac Military Council has its own flag, white with its emblem.

IMHO the logo in the flag is not oval.

You are right Jaume, I went too quickly with this one. In some pictures I 
first sent it is not easy to see, but in
this one, it is obviously a (big) circle. So here is the corrected flag 
image.
