Officials say a Lebanese man sanctioned by the U.S. for his alleged links with Palestinian group Hamas has been found dead after he went missing for a week

A Lebanese man sanctioned by the U.S. for his alleged links with Palestinian group Hamas was found dead Wednesday after he went missing for a week, Lebanese state media and judicial officials said. Mohammad Srour, 57, was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in August 2019 for giving “financial, material, technological support, financial or other services” to Hamas and his affiliation with Hezbollah.

Srour's death comes days after a local official of the Christian nationalist Lebanese Forces political party was found killed in a Syrian border town near the northeastern Lebanese border. Authorities say he was kidnapped by a Syrian gang in northern Lebanon. The circumstances of Srour's death are unclear.
