Former Major General Held in Damascus

Lieutenant General Rafiq Ahmed Kalthoum, a former officer in the regime's forces, has been arrested as part of the Syrian Ministry of Interior's efforts to pursue military figures accused of violations during the Syrian conflict. His detention is considered one of the most prominent arrests targeting a high-ranking officer—holding the rank of lieutenant general—who played a leading role in central Syria, Damascus, and its suburbs, especially during the Eastern Ghouta battle in 2018. He began his military career in 2004 and held important positions, including commanding the Central Region since 2018, before being detained while in hiding in his village in Hama Province.
