Yesterday afternoon, Abu Yusuf Sharqiyah died of an incurable disease. He was buried in the #ain_al-helweh Palestinian refugee camp near the Lebanese city of #Saida. The resident of North #Lebanon’s Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp came here in the 1990s to join the jihadi group Jund al-Sham. He would later be appointed the group’s emir.
