On Tuesday, the leader of the Hamas movement in Nablus , Sheikh Fayyad Al-Aghbar (63 years old), died as a result of a health problem he had a few days ago.

Sources from the Al-Aghbar family reported that Al-Aghbar suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage last Sunday, after which he was transferred to the Arab Specialist Hospital.

Al-Aghbar is considered one of the symbols of the Islamic Movement and the men of reform, and one of the prominent preaching, national and community figures in Nablus Governorate.

He is a member of the former Nablus Municipal Council, and previously held the position of Director General of the Nablus Endowment, and was subjected to arrest and torture in the Israeli occupation prisons.
