Christians in Lebanon are celebrating the release of several prisoners who were abducted by the Syrian regime over several decades of occupation and who are now, finally, free after the sudden collapse of the Assad regime on Sunday.

In an interview with local television, Hamawi recounted his ordeal, stating that he had been arrested when his son was just 10 months old. Now a grandfather, Hamawi expressed eagerness to meet his family after decades apart. He revealed that he had been transferred between several Syrian regime prisons before ending up in Latakia’s coastal facility, where he was the only Lebanese detainee.

Syria dominated Lebanon for decades until it was eclipsed by Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, who propped up a faltering Assad regime while continuing to dominate Lebanese politics. Some are praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose leadership of Israel during the ongoing war that was started by Iranian proxies Hamas and Hezbollah last October ultimately resulted in the decimation of Hezbollah and the elimination of its leadership, leaving Assad defenseless.
