Adel Issa

Major-General Adel Issa, a former senior Syrian military officer who commanded an army division under the al-Assad government, has been detained in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanese judicial and security officials confirmed his arrest following a routine embassy visit. Authorities are currently considering whether to hand him over to Damascus. The reason for his wanted status in Syria is reportedly due to alleged crimes committed during his service. Issa's detention places him at the center of a potential diplomatic and legal quandary between Lebanon and Syria, highlighting ongoing issues related to past regimes and accountability.
