Ateyah Al-Shaari (fl. 2018; Arabic: عطية سعد الشاعري) is or was a Libyan rebel leader of the Shura Council of Mujahideen in Derna, which he dissolved into the Derna Protection Force on 11 May 2018,[1][2][3] during the Libyan National Army's offensive on Derna. On 26 June, Agenzia Nova reported that Ateyah had been killed in a shootout with LNA forces the preceding day,[4] but Libyan National Army spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari was unable to confirm this.[5]
