Pro-Regime Militia Cuts Salaries
2021-03-07
[SyrianObserver] The Palestine Liberation Army militia, which supports the regime forces in their battles against the Syrians, announced a reduction in the salaries of its members in Syria under the pretext of a decrease in the readiness rate and thus a decrease in the readiness allowance.

A source in the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria confirmed to SY-24 that salaries were reduced between 4,000 and 5,000 Syrian pounds, and the officers were informed of the decision to reduce their salaries to 38,000 pounds per month for reserve personnel after it was 43,000 pounds. As for the volunteer personnel, their salaries have been decreased from 65,000 to 60,000 pounds.

The source drew attention to the fact that “the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Army militia has abandoned its members who were injured in the ongoing battles in Syria and have become handicapped and dependent on their families and society.”

According to the source, “the number of the Palestine Liberation Army members in Syria is about 6,000 Palestinians, fighting in more than 16 locations in Syria, of whom 3,000 are involved in battles.”
Setting the stage for "North Palestine"? The Juice should start pushing that rumor
The source pointed out that “thousands of Palestinian youth have fled from the area under the control of this militia in order not to be forced into fighting within its ranks.”

#2  official exchange rate is about 500 Syrian pounds to one US Dollar.

So PLA officers are getting about $100/month or less and the grunts are getting a lot less
