Lebanon to extradite former Syrian officer
The Lebanese judiciary has decided to hand over former Syrian officer Adel Issa, who is currently detained in Lebanon, to Syrian authorities for trial on charges related to crimes committed on Syrian territory. Issa, who commanded the 17th Division in the Ministry of Defense before being transferred to the Army's ground forces command in Deir Ezzor in 2015 and retired in 2016, is accused of committing murders and crimes against humanity against Syrian civilians, at the request of Damascus and in accordance with a judicial agreement dating back to 1951. Issa was transferred from Beirut to the Syrian border, where he will be handed over to a Syrian security committee.
