Malik Ali, who is from Tartous, is one of the most prominent officers of the Republican Guard, where he served as chief of staff in the 106th Brigade of the Republican Guard under the command of Brigadier General Mohammad Khadour in 2011

At the outbreak of peaceful protests in 2011, Alia participated in the invasion of the eastern cities of Ghouta and in particular the city of Douma in April of the same year. He oversaw the operations of the 106th Brigade of the Republican Guard who broke into the city of Douma in Ghouta after a siege that lasted for several months. The storming led to the killing of 100 and the arrest of more than 5,000 people.

Under the command of Brig. Gen. Alia, the Republican Guards carried out field executions at the checkpoints, in addition to the raids and arrests, the destruction of public and private property and the theft of gold and looting of shops in the city or in the farms around the Ghouta.

In mid-2012, Brigadier General Malek Alia was dispatched to the city of Aleppo among a number of the Republican Guards (106 Brigade), under the command of Brigadier General Mohammad Khaddour. Alia assisted in commanding the regiment and bore direct responsibility for the crimes committed in Aleppo.

In February 2013, General Malik Ali was appointed Commander of the 106th Brigade of the Republican Guard, which was stationed mainly near the Henderat and the Lermon camps. He remained in this position until the end of 2016. At that time, he led the Republican Guard forces in Aleppo during the attacks on the eastern neighborhoods of the city, which resulted in the displacement of the people of Aleppo from the eastern neighborhoods and killed about 1370 civilians during the period between November 15 and December 13, 2016.

In late January 2017, Bashar al-Asaad issued a decree to form the 30th Republican Guard Division, which included all the forces operating in Aleppo. Major General Zeid Saleh was appointed its commander and Brigadier General Malik Ali was its chief of staff.

In October 2017 Brigadier General Malek Alia was appointed commander of the 30 Republican Guard, replacing Zaid Saleh, and at the end of the same year was appointed head of the security and military committee in Aleppo.
