Syrian forces detain 9 Assad-era pilots
Syrian authorities have arrested nine former pilots, including three high-ranking officers, on charges of participating in bombings of Syrian cities and towns during President Bashar al-Assad's era. The arrests followed surveillance and monitoring operations carried out by security forces in Latakia Province. These pilots, who operated fighter jets and helicopters, are accused of committing war crimes against the Syrian people during more than 13 years of conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of over half a million people, as opposition-held areas were subjected to aerial bombardment by government forces.
