Yousaf Borahil al-Mismari (Arabic: يوسف بورحيل المسماري) (ca. 1886 — 19 December 1931) was a Libyan revolutionary who fought against the Italian colonization of Libya. He also served as the deputy leader of the Libyan Jihad after the death of Omar Al-Mokhtar, who was captured at the Battle of Uadi Bu Taga on 9 September 1931 and executed at Soluch on 16 September.[1] Al-Mismari was killed in action after a confrontation with Italian security forces in Libya at the age of 45.
