In March 2024, UNRWA in Lebanon announced his suspension from his position as a teacher for the agency due to what was described as a "violation of agency protocols" after he praised the 7 October attack[needs independent confirmation]. He was suspended for three months. Following his suspension, dozens of activists protested the decision in front of UNRWA offices in Beirut.[4][5][6]

According to the Israel Defense Forces, Sharif was "in charge of coordinating Hamas activities from Lebanon with elements of Hezbollah, and was also responsible for strengthening the organization's efforts in Lebanon in the field of recruiting agents and purchasing weapons". He also led efforts to "build Hamas' power in Lebanon and worked to promote Hamas' interests in the arena, both politically and militarily".[7][unreliable source?][needs independent confirmation]. Hamas in a press release confirmed that ‘Fatah Sahriv was the Hamas leader in Lebanon and a member of the movement's leadership abroad’, although there was no statement indicating military role.[8]

Southern Lebanon is the main area of operation for Hamas in the region, with its operatives responsible for most of the rocket fire targeting Nahariya and the Krayot regions.[9][unreliable source?][needs independent confirmation]

On 29 September 2024, during the Israeli Air Force's "Operation Northern Arrows," he was killed, along with his wife and two children, in the Al-Bass refugee camp in Tyre district, southern Lebanon.[10][11] Hamas later confirmed his death.[12]
