Collaborators men jailed for collaboration

A military court has convicted 12 people, most of them former members of the “Israeli”- allied South Lebanon Army, of collaboration and contact with “Israel” and sentenced all but one to up to 15 years in prison.
The harshest sentences were handed down to Qassem Ismail Olayyan and Elias Ibrahim Haddad, in absentia.
According to the verdicts issued late Wednesday and posted on a court bulletin board Thursday, Abbas Hassan Hajj was sentenced to two years in prison and fined LL400,000. Seven others received prison terms ranging from six months to one year and were fined LL400,000 each for serving with the now-defunct SLA.
The court dropped collaboration charges against three people.
