Syrian and Lebanese nationals linked to Meraj Oral's arrest
Lebanese security authorities have uncovered details of the arrest operation of Ali Keiali, known as "Meraj Oral," one of the prominent leaders of armed groups loyal to the Syrian regime, accused of committing massacres in Baniyas in 2013. The operation involved the participation of four Syrians and a Lebanese individual, as Keiali was taken from his apartment in Mansouriyeh, Lebanon, to Syria via a coastal route passing through Jounieh, Tripoli, and crossing the Al-Obeidieh border crossing in Akkar, all without the Lebanese authorities being informed of the details. The Syrian embassy denied any involvement in the operation. Lebanese investigations focused on identifying the participants and the transportation route, alongside a review of efforts to uncover intelligence interventions and the agencies behind the operation. There are conflicting accounts regarding whether Keiali was transferred to the Syrian embassy or directly to Syrian territory. These developments resulted in judicial warrants being issued to review the movements of the suspects, with investigations continuing to uncover more about the executing parties and the context of the operation, which raises questions about violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
