زوجة النمر السابقة تكشف أسراره

A woman named Dr. "Thawra Muhammad Ahmad" posted a video highlighting details of her life as the ex-wife of "Suhail Al-Hassan," known by the nickname "Tiger," one of the prominent leaders of the hostile Syrian regime militias. In this video, Dr. Ahmad provided information about Al-Hassan's personal life and exposed some of his crimes.

She explained that he was receiving direct support from the regime's fugitive head, Bashar Al-Assad, noting that she married Al-Hassan, the butcher, in 2008. She described their married life as complicated, stating that he spent most of his time outside the home and exhibited bad behavior. She confirmed that he arbitrarily divorced her in 2011 due to her support for the Syrian revolution and her backing of her brother, who served as his office manager and defected in the early weeks of the revolution.

Dr. "Thawra" recounted how she faced significant harassment from "Suhail Al-Hassan" after expressing her intention to leave the country. Since 2015, she has been deprived of seeing her son and received threats with a weapon from an officer named "Hafez Makhlouf." In the circulated video, she called on the new Syrian administration leader and human rights organizations to intervene to retrieve her son and hold "Tiger" accountable for his actions.

After the fall of the Assad regime and the start of the "Deterrence of Aggression" operation, numerous questions arose concerning "Tiger's" fate. This was accompanied by mockery of the regime's attempts to portray him as a prominent leader and savior of Aleppo and Hama, despite the fact that he fled without showing up in those areas.

In related news, a photographer from the Assad regime's Ministry of Interior released a photo of "Al-Hassan" after confirming he was injured following a targeting by the "Military Operations Command" using a drone.

The conditions for some figures improved, as pro-regime pages circulated news of "Suhail Al-Hassan's" appointment to senior military positions, such as Commander of Military Operations and Head of the Security and Military Committee in Aleppo, despite his absence from field appearances.

It is noteworthy that "Suhail Al-Hassan," born in 1970 in a village in Jableh, comes from the Alawite sect. He graduated from the Air Force Academy in Homs in 1991 and served in the Syrian Air Force before joining the intelligence services. Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, he has taken on significant responsibilities in suppressing protesters and was transferred to lead the "Tiger Forces" after 2013.

During his tenure, state media worked to polish "Al-Hassan's" image as a symbol of military successes to boost the morale of the forces, and he accompanied Assad in his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Hmeimim military base.

However, "Al-Hassan" is closely linked to war crimes, including massacres and the forced displacement of populations, particularly in Aleppo, and is considered the inventor of barrel bombs that claimed the lives of thousands of civilians. He is known for implementing a "scorched earth" policy to regain control over areas outside the regime's control.

In the end, the German magazine Der Spiegel described "Al-Hassan" as a war criminal, noting that he could potentially be a candidate to succeed Bashar Al-Assad in the event of a political change in Syria. These analyses reflect ongoing tensions in the country and the challenges faced by the regime's military力量
