He was arrested in 1981 by soldiers and militias of the Ba'athist regime in the village of Kheili Hama in the Sharazur plain. He is among the disappeared and the martyrs whose graves are unknown.

Younes Latifullah Qader, known as Corporal Younes, was born in the village of Balkha, in the Biara district of the Hawraman region in 1945. He was a villager who worked in gardening and practiced the carpentry trade. He completed primary school, was drafted into compulsory military service, and participated in an artillery course, where his military rank was that of artillery corporal. He sought refuge in Iran after the setback of the September Revolution and resided in the Iranian province of Ahvaz. He was married to Fatla Tawfiq, and they had three sons and four daughters (Ghalib, Taleb, Abbas, Golbahar, Samira, Sabahat, and Warda).

In 1972, he joined the Peshmerga forces in the Kurdistan Democratic Party's command regiment, whose headquarters and duties were in the Haji Omran and Bahdinan regions. Due to his experience in using heavy weapons, he became a Peshmerga in the regiment's artillery section. After the resumption of fighting in 1974, he assumed command of a platoon within the regiment's artillery company.

In 1979, he rejoined the Peshmerga ranks in Iran within the Muhammad Ramadan regiment of the Hawraman forces of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and became the commander of the guerrilla warfare detachment in the aforementioned regiment.

In 1981, Younis Ali, along with two of his Peshmerga comrades (Hama Zaqqi and Abid Rahim), went to the Sharazur Plain to carry out a combat mission. They stayed for one night in the village of Khaili Hama in the Sharazur Plain, but were surprised to find themselves surrounded by a large number of soldiers and Ba'athist regime militias. They were asked to surrender, but they decided to fight them. Clashes did indeed occur between the two sides. After hours of fierce fighting, one of them (Hama Zaqqi) was martyred. Younis Ali and Abid Rahim were surrounded, shot, and arrested after being wounded. They were transferred to a prison in Mosul. There is no information about how they were martyred, and Younis Ali is among the martyrs whose graves are unknown.
