Sentences handed down to collaborators
A military court sentenced a former member of the Israeli-proxy South Lebanon
Army to death in absentia and another to five years in jail for killing a
Lebanese during Israels occupation of south Lebanon.
The verdicts were issued late Wednesday and posted on the courts bulletin board
Thursday.
The name of the victim was not made available.
Marwan Abdullah Olayyan, who was sentenced in absentia, and Mohammed Hassan

with the occupation forces.
The others received prison terms ranging from three weeks to one year and fines
of LL200,000 to LL1 million.
