364 Israeli-allied militiamen questioned on collaboration
A total of 364 former
members of Israels 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 Mohammeds 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.
