The young man Wissam Fadel, a student, was transferred to the hospital after being shot in the chest inside his home in the town of Bakhoun, within the Akkar district. Emergency and relief teams later worked to transport him to Tripoli Government Hospital in a critical condition. He soon succumbed to his injuries. Security forces arrived at the scene and opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the incident, with reports suggesting that the cause of death may have been suicide.
