Former leader of the Lebanese Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt commented on the arrest of the Syrian general in the former regime, Ibrahim Huwayjeh, who supervised the assassination of his father, the Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt, on March 16, 1977.
Jumblatt shared the news of the arrest nearly 48 years after his father's death, just a few days before the anniversary, with the comment "Allahu Akbar."
The Syrian Internal Security apparatus arrested former General Intelligence chief Ibrahim Huwayjeh on Thursday, March 6, accused of carrying out assassinations during the reign of former President Hafez al-Assad.
The Syrian news agency "SANA" quoted a source from the General Security Directorate stating "the arrest of General Ibrahim Huwayjeh, former head of the Syrian Air Intelligence between 1987 and 2002, in the city of Jableh."
According to the source, Huwayjeh is accused of "hundreds of assassinations" during the Assad family's rule, including "supervising the assassination" of the Lebanese Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt on March 16, 1977.
It is worth noting that the Syrian regime is accused of killing the socialist Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt, as well as other Lebanese officials over the past five decades.
Who is Kamal Jumblatt? Kamal Jumblatt is considered one of the most prominent political and intellectual figures in modern Lebanese history, combining political activism with philosophical thought. He played a key role in the Lebanese and regional political scene.
He left behind a rich legacy of thought, politics, and struggle for social justice, and was a prominent supporter of the Palestinian cause.
Kamal Fouad Jumblatt was born on December 6, 1917, in the town of Moukhtara in the Chouf district, the historical stronghold of the Jumblatt Druze leadership.
