Abu al-Malik al-Talli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamal Zainia,[1] commonly known by his nom de guerre Abu al-Malik al-Talli, is the head of the Ansar Fighters Brigade in Syria.
Al-Talli was held in Sednaya prison and other prisons for over eight years until his 2011 release.[1]
He was considered a high-ranking member of al-Nusra Front.[2] Al-Talli reportedly allowed his deputies, Abu Musab and Abu Sahib, to lead the Qalamoun offensive (May–June 2015), though they were inexperienced in direct combat.[3]
He was part of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) until he left the organization in 2020.[4] According to an article published by the Middle East Institute, he withdrew his resignation prior to his arrest.[5]
The So Be Steadfast Operations Room was formed in June 2020 by the Ansar Fighters Brigade (which he heads) and other groups,[6] which precipitated his arrest that same month. His arrest on 22 June[7] at his house in Sarmada[8] led to infighting between HTS and other militant groups.[9] Al-Talli was released that year.[10]
