Manhunt for two members of Sydney Alameddine crime network as they allegedly go on the run

A manhunt has been launched for two senior members of the Alameddine crime network amid fears they could flee the country after allegedly going on the run. 

Masood Zakaria, 26, and Ali Younes, 24, are wanted by police over their alleged involvement in organised criminal activity in Sydney’ south-west.

Police believe the two men are actively trying to evade law enforcement and fear they may be trying to flee the country.

Masood Zakaria is described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, about 180cm tall, obese build, with brown eyes, black hair and a beard. 

Ali Younes is described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, about 180cm tall, large build, with brown eyes, black hair and is possibly unshaven.

Anyone who sees either man, or has information about their whereabouts, is urged not to approach them and call triple-zero immediately.  

The manhunt comes as the Alameddine and Hamze families fight out a brutal turf war across Sydney. 

Bilal Hamze was shot dead in a brutal gangland execution on the night of June 17 as he left a glitzy Japanese restaurant on Sydney’s Bridge Street. 

Hamze, 34, who had a distinctive tear-shaped tattoo under his right eye, was walking along Bridge Street when up to 10 shots were fired at him from a stolen black Audi. 

Homicide detectives set up Strike Force Englorie to investigate the murder and are also looking into a separate alleged murder attempt of his younger brother Ibrahem Hamze in Sydney’s north in August.   

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Zakaria or Younes have played any role in the conflict.
