Osama Suleiman Mansour Hilali (Arabic: أسامة سليمان منصور الهلالي‎, born 1979) is a member of the Kurdish Future Movement in Syria. A Mhallami Kurd from Qamishli, he was also an activist who led protests during the Syrian uprising in 2011,[2] and a militant who founded the Mashaal Brigade, an armed rebel group that consisted of both Kurds and Arabs. Under Hilali's command, the group fought against Syrian government forces and the mainly-Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) between 2012 and 2013, during the Syrian Civil War, most notably in the Battle of Ras al-Ayn.[1]
