State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Monday a Syrian detainee with offenses that could be punishable by death if convicted.
He referred the case of Hassan Mohammed Jamil Harba to Military Tribunal Judge Imad al-Zein.
The army had announced on Saturday Harba's arrest.
He confessed to belonging to armed terrorist groups and taking part in the clashes against the army in the northeastern border town of Arsal in August.
The fighting erupted when Islamic State and al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front groups overran Arsal and engaged in battles with the military.
Harba also sought to plant explosive devices in the Arsal region with the aim of targeting the army.
