Syria: Ex-officers detained over airstrike role
Syrian authorities announced the arrest of five high-ranking former Air Force officers, including a Major General and a Brigadier General, on charges related to their involvement in planning and executing airstrikes during the conflict that lasted from 2011 to 2024 and resulted in the deaths of more than half a million people. The officers, who participated in operational planning and combat missions, used airbases and guidance centers to carry out strikes that caused destruction and the displacement of civilians. These arrests are part of a crackdown on former regime leaders following the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, and judicial procedures are underway, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
