Syria: Ex-Brigadier General Arrested for Attacks
The Syrian authorities have detained a former high-ranking officer in Bashar Assad's army. He was a leading figure in the Republican Guard during the previous regime's rule, responsible for military operations against opposition areas, including attacks on the cities of Aleppo, Daraa, and Eastern Ghouta. He began his military career before being promoted to head of operations for the 101st Airborne Division in 2016, and he personally participated in military actions during the 13-year-long war, including the chemical attack on Ghouta in 2013, which resulted in the deaths of over a thousand people according to U.S. intelligence. These measures are part of the Syrian government’s crackdown on former officials, following the overthrow of Bashar Assad’s regime in 2024 and his subsequent being charged with war crimes, including a death sentence in absentia against Assad and his brother.
