364 “Israeli”-allied militiamen questioned on collaboration

A total of 364 former members of “Israel’s” now-defunct proxy militia, were questioned on collaboration allegations on Thursday, paving the way for their trials.
Trials are due to resume on Friday after Monday and Wednesday sessions were canceled due to the mourning period for Syrian President Hafez Assad ­ who died on Saturday ­ and the celebration of the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday on Wednesday.
So far, 105 collaborators have been sentenced to terms mostly ranging between 12 and 18 months. Around 1,700 militiamen are in custody.
