Sheikh Attacked in Ain el-Hilweh Succumbs to Injuries
The head of the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects succumbed on Tuesday to his injuries after being shot last week in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain el-Hilweh.
Sheikh Orsan Suleiman died at Hammoud hospital, the state-run National News Agency said.
He was shot last Wednesday as he was leaving a memorial service for an aid worker who died during clashes at the Mieh Mieh refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon.
Around eight people were killed and ten others wounded last Monday in the fierce clashes at the camp.
The gunfight erupted between supporters of Jamal Suleiman's Ansar Ullah group, a close ally to Hizbullah, and others loyal to Ahmed Rashid's the Return Martyrs' Brigades.
