Abu al-Malik al-Talli
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.
Life
[edit]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] and was part of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) until he left the organization in 2020.[3]
The So Be Steadfast Operations Room was formed in June 2020 by the Ansar Fighters Brigade (which he heads) and other groups,[4] which precipitated his arrest that same month. His arrest on 22 June[5] at his house in Sarmada[6] led to infighting between HTS and other militant groups.[7] al-Talli was released that year.[8]
