Death penalty suggested for 5 collaborators

An investigative magistrate requested on Wednesday that the death penalty be issued to five “Israeli”-allied militiamen. The men, all still at large, are accused of collaborating with “Israel”.
Magistrate Rashid Mezher asked that the five, who were not identified, receive the death penalty for joining an enemy army, killing Lebanese civilians and entering enemy territory.
Meanwhile, the Military Tribunal interrogated a new batch of 25 agents on Wednesday. They will stand trial soon.
