Who is Major General Jamil Al-Hassan?
Major General Jamil al-Hassan, Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department, is one of the most notorious conductors of the war in Syria. He is the one who famously said: “I am prepared to kill a million people and then take me to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.”
He was born in the village of Al-Qarniyah in Homs Governorate in 1952. He joined the Military College in 1972 with a specialization in air defense. He rose through the military ranks until he reached the rank of Major General on 1/1/2009, and was appointed Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department on 7/1/2009, succeeding Major General Abdel Fattah. Sanctity.
Given his bloody record in suppressing opponents; Major General Al-Hassan was extended as Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department seven times in a row from 2011 until 2018, and his last extension was on 7/18/2017 until 7/18/2018 according to a decree issued by Bashar al-Assad, in violation of all regulations and laws regulating the service. Officers in the Syrian army, in order to keep him as director of the Air Force Intelligence Department, which is considered one of the worst and most criminal Syrian security agencies.
Major General Jamil Hassan had served as Assistant Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department when Major General Abdel Fattah Qudsiyeh was appointed Director of the Department, and before that he worked as Head of the Air Force Intelligence Branch in the Eastern Region in Deir Ezzor in 2009, where he participated with Major General Jameh Jameh, Head of the Military Intelligence Branch in Deir Ezzor at the time, in practicing abuses and committing violations. against civilians, interfering in public life and state departments, blackmailing citizens, and spreading Shiism in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa.
With the start of peaceful protests in 2011; Jamil Hassan appeared as one of the most prominent people involved in random arrests, extortion, theft, torture, and killing of demonstrators. He directed the heads of his branches in the Syrian governorates to kill demonstrators, arrest large numbers of them, and infiltrate the ranks of the demonstrators and then shoot them.
Not to mention his involvement in the crimes of assassinating national figures, such as the Kurdish activist Meshal Tammo, who was assassinated in the city of Qamishli at the beginning of the Syrian revolution, liquidating unsatisfactory officials in the state, and setting off bombings in police units, state departments, and patrolling law enforcement brigades affiliated with the Ministry of the Interior, as happened in the neighborhood of The field in Damascus, and in Hama, Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor and others.
During the revolution period, Major General Jamil Hassan practiced an abhorrent policy of sectarian discrimination, as he took the initiative to transfer most of the Sunni members and officers from the Air Force Intelligence Department and return them to service in the ranks of the army, and replaced them with members and officers from the Alawite sect until the percentage of Alawites in the administration reached about 99%.
Major General Hassan also granted absolute powers to all military units, especially airports, air defense units, and the Air Force, to select members and officers from these units, seize their weapons, control their airports, and use their planes in systematic repression missions.
Major General Jamil Hassan is considered one of those directly responsible for all the killing operations carried out by the regime’s warplanes and helicopters, as he gave free rein to Brigadier General Suhail al-Hassan in particular and to the heads of Air Force Intelligence branches and sections in general to kill, bomb, kill, displace and arrest civilians without accountability or oversight.

A large number of people from the city of Hama participated in the rape of women and girls during the invasion of the city.
These are the same policies that he has been practicing and instructing to adopt in the branches of the Air Force Intelligence Department since 2011, when a defected security officer named “Afaq Ahmed” spoke about receiving direct orders from Jamil Al-Hassan to kill all protesters heading to break the siege on the city of Daraa after the regime forces surrounded it. This is the incident that was later called the “Sidon Massacre,” during which Hamza al-Khatib and Tamer al-Shar’i were killed after being subjected to the most horrific torture before they were killed as they were. Like tens of thousands of Syrian people.

The rest have limited amounts.”
In the same context, the source indicated that “the Lebanese army checkpoint located in the Al-Madfoun area (the dividing point between the North and Mount Lebanon governorates) arrested the retired Major General in the Syrian Army (Hikmat. F.M.), after he entered Lebanon surreptitiously, and he was in possession of a sum of money.” More than 100 thousand dollars, in addition to an amount of gold estimated at two kilograms, and it was found that he was serving as commander of the Daraa Division in the Syrian army.
