The Lebanese military court issued on Tuesday a life sentence in prison with hard labor against Mustafa Hujeiri over his involvement in the murder of the Army Major Pierre Bechaalani.
The court also sentenced Hujeiri’s son, Obada, to 20 years in prison with hard labor over the same reason.
On April 9, the Military Tribunal sentenced the former mayor of Arsal town, Ali Hujeiri, to five years in prison with hard labor and, in accordance with the verdict, stripped him of his civil rights.
Hujeiri was charged with inciting gunmen to take revenge on the Lebanese army units that had killed the terrorist Khaled Humayyed in 2013.
Based on Hujeiri’s incitement, the terrorists killed and injured a number of the army officers and soldiers, including Major Pierre Bechaalani and First Adjutant Khaled Zahraman, in Arsal.
