40 former collaborators imprisoned

A military court late Monday sentenced 40 people to prison terms ranging from three weeks to three years for contact or collaboration with “Israel”.
Two men received three years imprisonment for belonging to the former “Israeli”-proxy militia; 11 defendants received jail terms of three weeks plus fines of LL1 million for entering “Israel”.
The defendants were the 58th batch of collaborators to stand trial since “Israel’s” May withdrawal. The vast majority of the  2,500-militiamen surrendered to the Lebanese authorities after the “Israeli” pullback.
