Rif Dimashq | Lebanese Hezbollah confiscate military cards from its proxies of Syrian militiamen

Reliable sources have informed SOHR that new instructions have been received by members at the headquarters and military checkpoints of the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, in Tel area in Rif Dimashq, which is to seize military cards from all Syrian fighters.

Lebanese Hezbollah leadership opened an investigation on Thursday evening, with all militiamen of its militia in Al-Tel area.

The Lebanese Hezbollah militia seized military cards from Syrian members, after receiving information about the use of these cards by other persons to enter Lebanon in exchange for substantial sums of money.

 

According to SOHR sources, the militias seized 43 military cards, and the militia leadership took the decision to issue new cards and develop a mechanism to renew them, during the current month, in a way that would not allow the fighters to lease and benefit financially from these cards.

The militiaman receives at least 150,000 SYP for military card rental, while the holder of this card gains the benefits of access and exit without inspection.
