Syria detains ex-air operation officer
The Syrian Ministry of Interior announced the detention of former Brigadier General Pilot Zakariya Muhammad Sunun, who supervised the air operations of three military airports—Hama, Tifour, and Shaierat—between 2012 and 2020, during the rule of the ousted Bashar al-Assad regime. It clarified that Sunun is involved in planning and executing war crimes and airstrikes against civilians during the Syrian revolution years. Several other officials and former officers have been detained as part of efforts to pursue those involved in the regime’s violations between 2000 and 2024. Following his detention, he has been referred to the judiciary for further investigation, in a move that comes after the arrest of other senior military officials.
