Abu Ghayda charged the suspects with the murder and attempted murder of dozens of military personnel, including officers, and civilians, as well as with inflicting damage to private and public property during the Abra clashes east of Sidon in July 2013.
At least 18 soldiers and 28 gunmen were killed in gun battles between Assir’s militants and the Army in Abra.
Assir and his followers were also charged with provoking the killing of Army officers and with stirring sectarian strife.
Abu Ghayda referred the case and the suspects to the military tribunal.
