Syria announced on Wednesday that Lebanon had extradited Maj. Gen. Adel Issa, 67, marking the first handover of a former Assad-era military officer by Beirut since Bashar al-Assad was ousted in December 2024. Issa faces charges including premeditated murder, torture leading to death and acts aimed at inciting civil war and sectarian strife.
