Kosovar businessman, humanitarian, and military commander (1955–1999)
Ismet Hazir Asllani (August 18, 1955 – March 24, 1999) was a businessman, humanitarian and logistic commander.

The economic wealth the Asllani family achieved in the 1980–90s was obtained from hard work within the family's flour and wheat fabrics located in respectively Lipjan, Kijevë and Kopernicë.
During the most difficult times of the Yugoslav regime, the Family Asllani fed the KLA and a large part of the Kosovo-Albanian population with food. ;ref name="[URL] ;BalliKombit.org: BalliKombit.org, accessdate: May 17, 2016 ;/ref ;
Ismet Asllani supported also financially the knowledge and education system in Kosovo by awarding scholarships to hundreds of Albanian students to educate in western universities. 
Due to the occupation of the Albanian schools in Kosovo by the Serbs, Ismet Asllani's house, which is located close to the centrum of Prishtina became an important place and service for the students of the faculty of medicine.
On March 24, 1999, when NATO started airstrikes against Yugoslav targets, Ismet Asllani was shot in the village of Konjuh after a highly planned and organised action from the Special forces of Serbia.
Approximately, one month later on April 19, Ismet's two younger brothers, Muharrem and Nazim Asllani got shot by the Yugoslav police in the village Hallaq i Vogël (Serbian: Mali Alaš). ;ref name="[URL] ;17 vite më parë u vra luftëtari Ismet Asllani – Bota Sot: 17 vite më parë u vra luftëtari Ismet Asllani – Bota Sot, accessdate: May 15, 2016 ;/ref ;
