Lebanon transfers officer to Syria
It has been decided that Lebanon will hand over former Major General Adel Issa, who is close to the Assad regime, to Syria to face accusations of murder, torture, and crimes against humanity committed during Assad's era. Issa, who is facing charges related to intentional killing and lethal torture, was detained in Lebanon based on an arrest warrant issued by Syrian authorities. He previously commanded ground forces and military divisions in Deir Ezzor until 2016. This marks the first such operation involving a high-ranking officer since the fall of the Assad regime in 2024, and it sets a precedent in the prosecution of former military officials wanted by Damascus. The move also reflects judicial cooperation between Lebanon and Syria under the 1951 agreement.
