Collaborators’ chief of staff surrenders

Karamallah Said, the chief of staff of the “Israeli”-proxy South Lebanon Army militia who fled to “Israel” during the “Israeli” withdrawal a year ago, crossed the border into Lebanon Friday and handed himself over to Lebanese authorities.
Said is the most senior ranking militia officer to have surrendered to the authorities.
He arrived at the border crossing at Ras Naqoura on the coast at 11am. He was received by UNIFIL peacekeepers manning a post at the border crossing and was almost immediately collected by Lebanese soldiers.
Originally a Lebanese Army officer, Said joined the Marjayoun-based militia of Saad Haddad in 1976 when the army split and collapsed in the South during the early stages of the civil war. He was appointed  the militia chief of staff in the early 1990s and was responsible for logistics and administration. His family returned to Lebanon recently.
