Syrian security forces arrest former regime pilot
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Internal Security Forces in Hama announced on Saturday that they successfully carried out a precise operation resulting in the arrest of former regime Air Force Brigadier Hamza Muhammad al-Yassin, who was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecution.
According to a statement published on the Ministry of Interior’s Telegram channel, al-Yassin is “accused of committing war crimes and serious violations against civilians in several governorates during the previous regime’s rule.”
Preliminary investigations indicated his involvement in airstrikes targeting cities and towns with active opposition, as well as participation in aerial campaigns during the military operations in eastern Idlib countryside and Hama’s rural areas, which “resulted in massacres against innocent civilians.”
The statement added that “the suspect has been referred to the competent authorities to complete the investigations according to legal procedures, in preparation for his presentation before the specialized judiciary for appropriate legal action.”
